horror post-apocalyptic steampunk steampunkish weird-western

Chance Cunningham is cursed with perfect luck.  Perfect good luck, and perfect bad luck.

At eighteen, he is the worst outlaw in the Lowlands (bad luck), a Plague survivor (good luck?), and a lot of people want to kill him (bad luck): rival outlaws, the military, mother nature, and a sleepy lakeside town with a deceptively peaceful ambiance.All Rights Reserved

Until one fateful night he wakes up in the middle of the night to see that his impending doom is coming sooner than he'd hoped. And now, every month, a lot of people will meet their fate when the Earth tilts the opposite way it's supposed to, making every single function, every single move, every single breath, seem wrong and deadly.

The Metaphorical Key Book I- Call of the Raven by AM-Morning

Ｔｗｅｌｖｅｙｅａｒｓａｇｏ，ｔｈｉｎｇｓｃｈａｎｇｅｄ．．． The world is broken. The idea of school has become obsolete since the war started twenty years ago, and chaos is possibly the only order that exists anymore. The Catago, the group that attacked those twenty years ago, seized control of the government and did nothing else. But the second someone tried to stop them, things got very ugly, very fast. People say that the world is gone, their chance trickled like water out of their palms. Fourteen-year-old Aiden thinks otherwise. He sits by and waits for someone to fix this mess, never imagining he could play a part. With little warning, people are suddenly calling Aiden the key, the answer. But every key needs a lock and every answer needs a question, and Aiden has no idea where to start looking.

Brassworks by OfficerManKorn

There is a saying in the Badlands: There are many ways to get to the Brassworks, but all leave in a box. The Old World is gone, smashed beneath the heel of the great mountain, King Abaddon, many generations ago. A new civilization has risen from the ashes, struggling to survive in the new and harsh landscape. At the edge of a poor governance, in a dying town, a young blacksmith just ran afoul of the law. In some cities, that would mean a trip to local jail or court. In the Badlands, that means the Brassworks. Theo Palmer can't recall why he ended up in the hellish prison, but he knows he'll never leave. The Warden needs workers for the Forge deep underground. The drums of war are beating to the north, and only a twisted weapon from the past can save the people of the County. But there are many powers in the Vale of the King. Some seek to preserve the peace, while others aim to end it. Some hunger for justice, while others hunger for flesh. Theo has fallen into a violent world of monsters and metal, and his very survival depends on which side he chooses.

The Divine Armor of the Old Century（Book 2） by lingpeng216

This is one heck of a Victorian-style fantasy novel. Add a spoonful of steam engines to make that darned technology tree come alive! Add a spoonful of love and hatred, so everyone has good reasons to brawl! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters to play the main boss... and so on! Phew, that's a lot! ... Year 931 in the Engerwick Calendar. The city I reside in has been hailed as the most advanced in the West. The main reasons? The world-shaking steam technology, emerging technologies, and the wellspring of chaos. Can't deny it, but the fact remains that people keep flocking here to live. This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it's lies or illusions, but it's so close, within arm's reach, making you risk life and limb. A city of hallucinations. I am one of those dream-chasers.

On the other side of the continent, away from the constant war, the Hayter family live a relatively normal life in a settlement known as Haven, but they have another reason to fear the Republic. The children have a secret that their parents have made clear they can not reveal to anyone else, but they are about to discover the truth about their unusual abilities after their family is ripped apart.

Wings | Fleeting Feathers Book 1 by ThatOneBookWorm619

+ Co-written with Meteoritezr, SLOW UPDATES + First rule of living with the Flock? No names. Nothing real anyway. You don't survive with your humanity, you shed it, or it sheds you. Zombies were said to be impossible, that they'd never happen, well obviously whoever said that had underestimated human curiosity. It started with the melting of the Poles, which uncovered diseases that hadn't been seen in millennia, obviously when a flesh-eating parasitical virus was found, scientists in all their glory decided to study it, which led to the greatest calamity in human history. - TW: Gore, Cursing, Death, ect. Not recommended for anyone who can't stomach gore or other zombie stuff, and LGBTQ+. Homophobia will not be tolerated in anyway, shape or form -
