A century has passed since the world faced the horrors of the zombie apocalypse. Humanity survived, rebuilt, and buried the memories of the undead deep in the past. But the past has a way of resurfacing.

In the fortified settlement of Rose Winters and Jax Reynolds, two 18-year-olds born into an era where the undead were mere legends, a chance discovery leads them on a perilous journey into the wilderness. Signs of the infected, long thought extinct, haunt their steps-shredded clothing, claw marks, and eerie moans in the distance.

Their curiosity becomes a relentless pursuit, revealing secrets buried in the heart of the overgrown cities and hidden beneath the earth. A secret society, obsessed with the resurrection of the undead, threatens to unleash a new wave of terror upon the world.

Caught in the act, Rose and Jax escape, but not unscathed. The society releases the dormant virus, and the world once again echoes with the moans of the reanimated.

Now, the two teenagers must navigate a perilous landscape, fighting not only against the living dead but against a society that seeks to weaponize them. They race against time to warn their settlement, and their journey tests their courage, resourcefulness, and the depths of their determination.

As the echoes of the past reverberate through the wilderness, Rose and Jax must confront their own fears, the shadows of history, and the relentless pursuit of the infected. In their fight for survival, they uncover the true meaning of resilience, hope, and the enduring spirit of humanity.

"Resurgence: Echoes of the Undead" is a gripping post-apocalyptic tale that takes you on a suspenseful journey into a world where the past never truly dies. It's a story of survival against insurmountable odds, the bonds of friendship in the face of darkness, and the unending quest for hope in the midst of despair.

What Lasts in Us by monstrousbeauty

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.

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.

For her senior year, Ashley moves into her aunts mansion in order for Ashley to live the life every child deserves. There, Ashley encounters new friends and a guy who has changed her outlook on life. However, the disease inside of Ashley is starting to eat away at her, and the attacks from it causing her excruciating pain. Will Ashley give up on life before she gets a chance to live it out properly? Will the anguish and suffering Ashley endured for her entire life be too much for her to want to continue living?

In the harrowing depths of Raccoon City, where the stench of death permeates the air and terror lurks around every corner, a familiar face emerges from the shadows. Stryker, once a resident of this forsaken city, had settled into a desolate life behind prison walls. But fate, in its twisted irony, granted him an opportunity for redemption-a chance to be set free, not by the hands of justice, but by joining the formidable U.B.S.C. Years have passed since that fateful decision, and Stryker finds himself once again deployed into the heart of the city that holds his darkest memories. Raccoon City, ravaged by a relentless zombie virus, becomes the battleground for survival, where hope is a flickering flame amid the encroaching darkness. It is in this grim landscape that Stryker's path collides with that of his former friend, Jill Valentine-a resilient warrior whom he had silently admired from afar, believing he could never bridge the chasm between them. But as the relentless pursuit of the monstrous Nemesis bears down upon them, the boundaries that once separated Stryker and Jill begin to blur. Forced into a desperate alliance, they must face the horrors that lie ahead together. In the crucible of chaos, their destinies intertwine, and a bond forged by shared struggles and untold dangers grows stronger with each passing moment. As they navigate treacherous streets riddled with the undead, their relationship evolves, morphing from hesitant allies to something more. Beneath the weight of impending doom, a fragile connection blossoms-a connection that defies the despair of their surroundings. In this crucible of survival, love and trust become their only solace, their only hope.
