When Thomas Dale finds himself one of the few survivors of a dystopian world blasted by a series of unimaginable disasters, he must battle for his life as the remaining resources of a shattered planet slowly go down to nothing. Frightened but not willing to stay cowering as everyone around him dies, Thomas sets out to find out what caused all the disasters and how to stop them, along the way uncovering something far greater than he could've ever bargained for. But there are dark secrets that were best locked up and forgotten, and Thomas soon realizes that nobody can be trusted... maybe not even himself.

Thanks to @emily5904 for the cover. Seriously, it's epic. I couldn't do something like that.

Author's Note by ProbablyWaffles

Lucy Calderwood writes books. She loves reading, she loves writing, she loves fiction more than reality. Getting lost in books is what she does best. Though when she's asked to write a novel for her college course, such a thing happens literally. At night, when she goes to sleep, she wakes in the world of her own creation - in the book that she herself is writing, thus resulting in adventures she thought impossible, friendships she thought unreasonable, and an emotional rollercoaster she doesn't know how to deal with. To survive, she must fight. Fight what the world has become, fight what she has made, fight furious beasts of incredible sizes, alongside Thomas, Keith, and Katherine, all three being her own book characters. And if she's hurt, injured in her book, then it happens in reality. But what if she were to die?

Dead Eyes Watching by mikesway2

It wasn't fire or flood that did it, but when the dead started to walk. Venus had never really feared chaos-maybe because she'd been living on the edge of her seat all her life. Cold, pitiless, and unafraid to kill, she is a survivor in a world where trust is dead and mercy is for the weak. When the apocalypse breaks out across the city, Venus doesn't bat an eye. She knew the world was rotten to its core, but nothing prepared her for a call from her long-estranged brother Jun, begging her for help. Now, with blood on her hands and danger closing in, Venus is forced to protect the few people she has left, all while fighting against both the relentless dead-and the even more dangerous living. In a world where survival means abandoning your humanity, Venus is about to find out just how far she's willing to go in order to stay alive.

August 2, 2012. The day humanity fell. Having gone through an environmental cataclysm, planet earth has deteriorated into a vast wilderness inhabiting the aftermath of the war that pulverized populations. The remainder of humanity's strongest reside in the protection of Strongholds, where clusters of cities strive within massive walls that separate the remaining humans from the man-eating monsters that nearly sent them into extinction. In this time, humanity's strongest are sent out to take back their fallen planet, but when the walls fall, all bets are placed on the outside and the unknown forces that reside in the supposed uninhabitable. Fang is one of many survivors left after the fall of his Stronghold, and he, along with the companions he's gathered along the way, must rely on their abilities as they undergo a dangerous battle that may or may not cost them their lives: the battle of ultimate survival.

Nevertheless (DISCONTINUED, REWRITE IN PROGRESS) by XxJamiingxX

(DISCONTINUED. REWRITE IN PROGRESS) The year is 2050. The world has gone to hell. Everywhere you look, it's just ruins and devastation. It's so fucking stupid, how it all started. We were born like this. We can't help it. We can't help the way we were made. And yet they still hate us. They still hunt us down, beat us around, torture us. But we're done. We aren't taking it anymore. So, we're gonna take down the one who started this all. I'm gonna take down the one that started this all. I swear on Satan himself, I won't stop until you're dead, Leon. You've got a whole other hell coming for messing with me. Annabelle Blakrein, a skilled and dangerous 14 year old, is doing what she can to survive in the apocalypse, and kill the one who started it all. Kind of complicated when you have protective siblings and reckless children getting in your way and into danger. Especially her sweet little twins, who are destined for tragedy. She doesn't want her family to die, and her children to live lives of sorrow. So, she's gonna do what she can to keep them away from the world, from him.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

As they head to the Freshlands that Jax promises exists, they face threats from creatures in the forest, run from survivors who have turned to cannibalism, and face memories from their forbidding past that come back to haunt them.
