» Z O M B I E A P O C A L Y P S E « Highest Rank: #53 in Wellwritten #242 in Horror ❝ The edges of my vision were now black as it continued to narrow. I could still see the corpses-no, the zombies, continue to edge towards me, endlessly snarling, gurgling and gurgling. Their voices grew faint as I plummeted towards the concrete beneath me. ❞ Have you ever seen a rotten, flesh-eating, undead monster? Until June 19th, 2022, this phenomenon only existed in the movies, until nearly everyone in London is suddenly infected with the mysterious and unknown disease. The outbreak soon spreads internationally, only under approximately forty-eight hours. These monsters wreak havoc on the living, hungry for flesh, pleading no mercy. Elise, a young, troubled girl with anxiety, soon discovers that only the strong and perhaps slightly murderous people can survive this terror. Like Rage once told her, "They aren't humans anymore, darling. If they had the chance, they'd rip you apart." Staying completely humane simply isn't an option anymore, but for how long? Will there ever be a cure for this horrifyingly gruesome disease? For someone who's never even seen a zombie movie, it's about to get real interesting. Disclaimer: This book contains mature content, gore/blood, violence, and revolves around mature themes. Language unsuitable for children is also present. If this isn't fit for you, you have been warned. Please still enjoy the book to your extent! Cover created by me Copyright © rraven_. All rights reserved.
