Flames had followed Erin his entire life. It began with the grisly housefire that consumed his father. Henri Maye had been Erin's entire world and in an instant, in the blink of an eye, he was gone. Nothing left but ash and char and cloying black smoke. But Henri Maye hadn't just been any man. He wasn't just a doting father and loving husband. He was a well-renowned researcher into creatures beyond human DNA. One box of research survived the fire, placed conveniently outside the door as though it had been plucked from the devastation just for Erin. Within that box, one name repeated over and over. Ross Towler. And so the flames never abated. Ross Towler was infamous, a Shadow, a hellhound, and a convict locked away in the life imprisonment that had begun over three hundred years ago. Henri had interviewed Ross. He had known him. That was all Erin needed, just that one box. He vowed to continue his father's work, enrolling in college to study a degree in Supernatural History and Lore. That was where the obsession began. Erin wasn't his father. He couldn't distance himself, he wasn't interested in all forms of life beyond his own. There was one man he desired, one man he wished to study more than anyone else. It didn't matter. Ross was serving a life sentence, and he refused to see Erin no matter how much the boy tried to make contact. That should have been the end. That should have been where the embers fell...

I was breathing hard by the time I felt the hands grabbing me, trying to rip my flesh apart. They pulled me down with their weight. I screamed. I felt them sinking their teeth into my flesh as I screamed louder, not caring if more came, as I was already going to die. I suddenly felt them being pulled off me. I sat up and saw man killing the zombies that were just piling on me. As the man turned around I noticed that he looked like he couldn't be much older than me, maybe 21. He had blood all over him but I don't imagine I look any better. He walked over to me and stuck out his hand to help me up. I took him up on his offer. After I stood up I noticed how many zombies truly were after me, there were maybe 10 or 12 bodies laying on the ground. I looked at the man and suddenly realized that I was bit and if he didn't leave soon I could end up attacking him, though I doubt that he will have any problems with being able to protect himself. "You need to leave. I don't want to hurt you." He just laughed at that and came closer to me inspecting my arms that looked horrible with bite marks all over them. All of the sudden I felt really dizzy, next thing I know is I'm on the ground. That's when the seizures hit My name is Ireland, and I've been living as a zombie for 9 months now. This is how I turned and how I survived. #1 in nightstalker started: 12-15-18 All credits are given to @CrystalScherer for letting me use her zombie ranks and some of her characters from the book 'The Virus Within'.

It starts with a simple itch, nothing more. Maybe a few random spasms or the occasional shudder but you'll think nothing of it. Then you'll get blood shot eyes... Not enough sleep? It gets worse, much worse. The itching turns to scratching, clawing at you skin until it bleeds... and bleeds and bleeds. Then comes the anger which tips you over the top making you brake into a full blown seizure. Madness. You still with me? Well you won't be if they catch you, you'll be one of them...infected.

For 17 year old Benna Denman, it's hard enough being the president's daughter. And when she develops a telepathic Link, life gets even worse. Her father isn't impressed with this new evolutionary ability. It means he could lose control over people's communications - in a world without cell phones, publicly accessible internet, or a postal service, it's difficult for dissent to spread and uprising to organize. That's just the way he likes it. So when the government starts offering cash in exchange for these telepaths, and Benna is under suspicion by both her boyfriend and her powerful father, she knows she's in trouble. Upon discovering that the cold Dr. Frenchwood plans to use her as a lab rat to develop a cure for telepathy, Benna and her Link, a boy named Corin, decide to try to run...

We don't choose to die, we're designed too. It was just never the creator's plan for the dead to rise again. Zombies were the characters in our nightmares, the actors in our films and the taboo we'd all secretly admired. Never did we imagine they'd become our reality. Now every day is a battle for survival, a fight against the dead that seems to be creeping ever closer. We don't choose to die. We're designed too. * This story follows a small group of teens in a race for survival against the infected, with death, disease and the unshakable feeling that they're being stalked- life just got a whole lot harder.
