apocalypse apocalyptic family horror horror-drama originalstory post-apocalyptic rot rotting sci-fi therotting zombie zombieapocalypse zombies

The Rotting is a post-apocalyptic horror drama co-written by myself and my friend, Jenna (@thedawnssddawn). It follows a group of survivors from all around the state of Georgia, different in almost every way except one - they all have one goal: survival.
  With Rotters roaming the city streets (and almost everywhere else), tomorrow isn't guaranteed. They aren't the only threat, either. In this world, there are no rules, and people are going to great measures to get what they want.

As previously mentioned, this story is not mine alone. Jenna is the main writer, while I edit and add on to what she writes. All other processes are a mutual effort.

This story contains sensitive topics.

𝑨 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒅𝒚. (𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒏) by xo_madness

Trying to survive the apocalypse isn't just about slaying the undead. It's a 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 lot more complicated than that. Hardly anybody ever considers the barbaric murderers with the Cheshire Cat smiles or the cunning killers lurking around for their next victim to slice open. Or what about the huge range of communities out there, trying their best to thrive in the new world? Surely, not all of them are bad... right? Well, Brooklyn Scotts would be inclined to disagree to that last point made. For the girl has been surviving on her own since it all started, joining and leaving small groups here and there. But when she just so happens to unintentionally seek help on her travels, her whole world is turned upside down and she finds herself breaking all the rules. <><><> Highest Rank(s): » #1 Negan » #1 TheWalkingDead » #1 Rickgrimes <><><> || Negan X OC || || Mature Content || || Please Enjoy || <><><> » started late 2017 » completed summer 2019

The Arising: The Finale by SNovaC

The Arising: The Finale Set in The Arising Universe The Ending To The Arising Series It's been 23 years since Samantha has seen her father. Through the years the world has gone back to how it used to be. There's a government, there's rules, there's law, there's a currency and a rapidly decreasing amount of zombies. The world is what Sam imagined it to become. Since Sam disappeared Samantha still believes he is out there. People who survived the apocalypse are slowly disappearing and forgotten, as the world continues on. This is the final book in the Arising Series, and I hope you enjoy it! I have been working on the Series since 2016, so it would be hard for me to end it here. But for the people that have read each and every Chapter, I thank you, and I hope you like the ending. So thank you for reading!

surviving Z-land✔ by just_me_mnm

it's simple. Survive, and this is the story of how I learnt to survive in the cruel world of flesh eating zombies. No time for playing nice or sympathy or love, this is the apocalypse... do what you gotta do. A few years in the future things take a turn for the worst. Trying to save the planet sometimes never works. We expect humans to learn from their past mistakes but we never do and now that it's the apocalypse things get 10 times worse. People are desperate. Hungry. Angry and down right savages. Will humanity finally find peace and rebuild a new better society or will they do what they always do. What they do best. Destroy. 🔱 This book is full of suspense, thrill, drama and more. Second book coming out soon. PS- takes place at the same time but different place and people. Best: 14 in #survivalofthefitest Ranking at #71 of 16k

Ashes to Ashes (Book 1 of 2) A ZOMBIE FICTION by OPDistress

Follow Alexander "Alex" Ashton as he faces the new reality of the world. 2015, the world is suddenly and almost instantaneously ravaged by a killer plague that kills and reanimates. The virus is spread by bites, and only the fittest survive. Alex, and his three best friends must learn to survive on their own in the world. Will they last, or will they fall to the disease like the many have before them. This is NOT my first story, but I still have much to learn, any feedback will help. M rating due to language, violence, and possible scenes (always say it just in case something does happen). Enjoy! Next 'Book' (if you could call it that) is in the works.

I did, however, have to worry about my wandering thoughts, and I'd have a different monster on my hands if I let them wander too far.❞ ↣ A virus has erupted, turning loved ones into mindless, ravenous, killers. Where the rest of the world sees madness, Kathryn Johnson sees opportunity. She runs from her immutable hell, disappearing into the trees of Northern Georgia.

Through these people, Kathryn finds herself examining the walls she's kept herself locked behind. After a lifetime of unknown, a question waits for her on the other side: Can the broken be fixed? ↣ { Featured in the @WalkingDeadRoadtoSurvival "Top Walking Dead Fanfiction" reading list } { ➊ The Walking Dead } { ➌ The Walking Dead Fanfiction } { ❺ Daryl Dixon }
