A family consisting of parents, their two adult children, and their cat Berta suddenly finds themselves in a situation where they don't know what's happening.
Out of nowhere, a warning about an unknown danger appeared on TV, and since then, the television and radio have gone completely silent. There's no signal, and even the emergency hotline is unreachable.
The vast majority of people from the village have left to join relatives in the cities to be together and find out what's going on. The village is now empty. The fear of the unknown is overwhelming. You know something is happening, but you don't know what.
Riots? An unknown disease? An alien invasion? None of these can be ruled out. Overnight, the family is left without any information about what's going on.
What's happening to their relatives? What's happening to the world? When will this end? Will this end? These are questions to which they have no answers.
The only thing keeping them sane is being together and the hope that the world will one day be all right again.

People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all.

As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness.

In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.Complete

(Sequel to Don't Talk To Strangers) It's been a couple months since the zombies had vanished. No more zombies. No more killings. And no more bad people. So they thought... Life is good, until something seems- out of place. Maybe it's a change in the weather or thickness of the air. Or it could be the electronic buzzing noise keeping them awake at night. The gang is suspicious, but nothing peaks their interests until one of them comes home infected. It's only a matter of time until the infection spreads around the rest of their body. It's a race against the clock to help them survive. Because the friends can't part with their own. They're family. And losing another person amongst the world is too much to handle. But if adding in revengeful ex-friends, hot summers, babies AND more zombies to the mix is what it takes to finally make these kids give up, congratulations. You got your wish. Not everyone is as strong as they want to be. Will they make it or break it?Complete
