After her car breaks down on a lonely, forestry road, Amber finds herself stranded nearly one-hundred miles from home in the wake of a suspected coronal mass ejection.  With nothing but her hikers pack, antique film camera, and a gift shop journal to record the bizarre goings on, she is going to attempt to make it home on foot.  
   But something ancient and sinister has awoken to stalk the shadows, effectively trapping her in a remote, mountain convenience store, and it is poised to upend civilization forever.
     Even as Amber struggles to scrape together a life on her own, her family and friends are also fighting to survive the dark plague that is sweeping across the land. 

     Will they survive The Fall?

***

     This story is a full length (around 150k words), atmospheric novel that is overflowing with slow, creeping dread and high stakes tension. It walks between (and through) several genres but I would call it: Post Apocalyptic Survival Horror with Dark fantasy and Romantic Suspense elements. 
There is no actual graphic smut on the page but it does walk the edge. 

     Because of the darker themes, please see the content warnings in the Author's Note section before reading.

Your mental health matters. ❤️

I hope you enjoy!

"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

Surrender Or Drown The Siren and The Dark Horse Trilogy: Book One. by BrittWadsworth
66 parts Complete Mature
Complete but still under editing/Polishing/and some revision towards the end. Bella moved to West Virginia to escape a monster. Brandon went to escape himself. She is fire wrapped in thorns. She's sharp, untouchable, and running from a past that refuses to die. He is leather and silence. He's scarred, and grounded, a boy who learned long ago to feel nothing at all. When their worlds collide, numbness is no longer an option. And control isn't in either of their hands. She makes him feel. He makes her breathe. The more they fight it, the more it consumes them. But what's worse is they're left to accept that some things are terrifyingly inevitable. When a Dark Horse meets a siren, surrender might be the only way to survive being drowned. Because love isn't their biggest risk... obsession is. This story is about two broken souls, bound by trauma and nightmares and how they find common ground in one thing... each other. Despite their denial-Bella and Brandon must choose: let the other in... or die trying to escape. This is a haunting, slow-burn dark romance with a psychological thriller edge. Steamy. Sweet. Thrilling. Action-packed with plot twists and a love that doesn't just pull you in but keeps you locked in. Intimate and emotional and definitely written for a mature audience. Book one of S.O.D is packed with just enough dark humor to keep you scrolling until 3 a.m. My fresh take on cliche dark romance. (18+ guys! Read at your own risk) •All rights and words/ideas/characters belong to me, the author. Please respect this and do not plagiarize.

51 parts Complete Mature
[COMPLETED: Book two in the works] **Disclaimer: This book was written on impulse, out of the creativity of my rotting mind. Take that as you will. Will have darker themes as its setting is based in a dystopian/apocalyptic society. Readers please be at least 16+.** "Finally, I could get a look at his face as his eyes scanned over the landscape and it wasn't long before his eyes met mine. Ba-dump. I felt my heart thump in my chest. I stared openly at him. My eyes wide and full of curiosity and anticipation. He was everything that I had been searching for. I lifted my hands when I saw his grip tighten on his knife and showed that I was not going to attack him and meant no harm. But his green eyes only narrowed with skepticism and suspicion. He looked like he was ready to kill me, while it was all over for me, I was beginning to believe in the corny idea of love at first sight. I was already set on capturing his heart and becoming his partner. He was perfect." - Mila, a lone survivor, obsesses over the idea of finding love and fulfilling her childhood dream to get married before the world ends. Finally she meets the guy of her dreams, another survivor named Everett. But as they reluctantly band together they find surviving against the human rabies virus to be the least of their worries. Instead, they must face a Facility that poses as a utopia for survivors and uncover its darker secrets. Will their lives end before she can accomplish her dream to fall in love?

A dystopian thriller that evolves into a violent sci-fi nightmare with hints of monster (very) dark romance. --------- Alice has a good life: a great job, a cozy, paid-off apartment, and a loving husband. She also has an oppressive government, a war-torn city, and general social decay around her, and what seems to be an alien invasion, though nobody is willing to admit it. You know, the kind of things that can really throw a wrench into a morning commute. She should have left a long time ago, but right or wrong, it's her country. What's the worst that could happen? No, seriously, what's literally the worst? ------ It starts as my lightest and most melancholic work, but will end up the heaviest -- expect constantly rising tension as we go from moody dystopia into politics and philosophy into bdsm and violence, and into... oh well, read it. Overarching themes: evolution, adaptation, duty, freedom, metal music. The first 10 chapters are a clean, dystopian, political story. From 11th chapter on, wheels come off. I tried to make it sound universal; still, you can figure out approximately when I had it first outlined. Warnings (from chapter 11 on): violence, attempted SA, dubcon, smut. ----------- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

The Taste of Iron by Easterhead

Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert

This is an original work, so if you plan to offer something, don't. She woke up fractured, wrong, and forgotten. The world she once knew is gone, twisted by a cataclysm known only as The Fade. Now, forests breathe, light drips like water, and creatures mimic human voices with uncanny precision. Time bends in impossible ways, and raw emotion manifests into monsters. Nothing is natural. Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.
