Ongoing, First published Feb 28, 2015
In post-apocalyptic America, a major infection has wiped out nearly 3/4 of the population. The Government has been left in shambles and Big Pharma's only cooperation was developing and providing free immunizations, air dropped to the remaining survivors. Abandoned and left to their own means, people are forced to survive in ways that threaten to destroy the only thing they have left; their humanity.

Reid St Clair got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Once a Rock 'n' Roll bad boy from the big city; he had gone to the back country of Louisiana to claim the family property that had been willed to him by his deceased Uncle. Arriving to find the estate little better than a ruin of an old plantation, there had been barely enough time to lock the doors behind him when all hell had literally broken loose.

Living through the infection had proven to be an easier task than what came after. Being an outsider in a town that had barely tolerated newcomers before the outbreak was now even worse. The few people that remained were armed, scared and only traded with him out of necessity. After tragedy strikes again, survival becomes his only priority. Reid is forced to become a lone wolf and a recluse; until he is woken up one morning to a piercing female scream coming from the swamps.

REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

It's been seven months since the pandemic hit with this virus and the world has been ravaged and left to ruins.
