What if those horror movies we've all grown up with came to life? What if it really happened? The zombie apocalypse I mean... November 21st, 2012, the day it started. This is my trusty journal, my diary, my log of events in the new world.

"When there is no more room in hell, the dead shall walk the earth." -George A. Romero Amazing cover art: @Erchomai "Grotesque, but beautifully so..." @VannaTheStrange "The chapters are intense, and your writing style doesn't make it seem like you force anything." @loveeboat A bite. That's how the world fell to its knees. The virus spread like wildfire. Nothing could possibly contain something of this degree. Within days the government fell. Is this the second coming? Is this Mother Nature taking back her earth? Or is this the result of some bioengineering experiment gone horribly wrong? This may hit closer to home with Jack Stanley than he thinks.

Hi I'm Chloe and this is the story of how I died. Yea I know a bit cliché but seriously shit is about to get weird so buckle up dear reader.

After escaping a stalled elevator into a zombie apocalypse, Emily must learn how to trust people again or risk losing everything in this terrifying world. ***** For Emily, every day of the last two years have been a blur. She keeps her head down, takes her college courses online, and only goes out to work at her mandatory internship. But all that changes on the day the office elevator breaks down, leaving her trapped when the screams begin. And when the doors finally open, revealing a dystopian world ruined by bloody teeth and disease, Emily is launched into a terrifying run for her life, caught between the strangers she's not sure she can trust and the man-eating monsters that hunger for her flesh. Now she must learn not only how to survive in this new and dangerous world, but also how to overcome her own inner demons before they cost her something more precious than her life.
