absurd chinese disease family pandemic postmodern sisters sliceoflife virus

Jiuli Szeto hasn't spoken to her older sister, Bridgette, since she packed her bags, left their industrial Rust Belt town for college in New York, and never looked back, leaving Jiuli to nurse their mom ailing with lung cancer alone. After the spread of a deadly airborne virus that turns organs purple, the sisters are reunited when Bridgette arrives at Jiuli's doorstep--laid off from her Wall Street job and in desperate need of a place to stay. 

No running electricity. Innocent causalities. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years molding into one endless stream of suffering. This is their new normal. 

Together, they must learn how to protect themselves from the infection, scavenge resources, understand the difference between surviving and living, and turn the ruins of their town into a thriving community once more. But most importantly, they must repair their strained relationship...if it can be fixed at all.Todos los derechos reservados

Tales of a Quarantine Confession de KamalaRose7

Epic dystopian road trip. Grocery store hook-ups can be awkward, sexy or dangerous-be careful what you tinder. Tabitha comes home to a grizzly scene. In an opiate haze of brain swelling and grief, she begins her odyssey fueled by jealousy, mistaken identity and social media. Matty and Elaine embark on a secret mission to the tech mecca of the west coast. Move along at break-neck speed into the dark wasteland of the pandemic; pulse throbbing like a fresh cut vein, flying down highway 69 in an Oldsmobile with a trunk big enough for a body. Wanna ride? Shadows in the flames flicker and spew forth strange figures. A cold wind twists the night into a howl. Zombie ants dance till a fiddlehead fern sprouts from their brain goop and unfurls itself like an alien tentacle. Cheap motels found in desolate storms on the flat wastelands of the Midwest promise addiction and death.

Sanctuary de Ari_Faye

Sanctuary. That was what the quarantine dome was supposed to be, a place of refuge from the N-Gel and the deadly Neoplague they unleashed on the world. But we aren't safe here. Senna is uprooted from her rural life in the outer dome when her mother agrees to marry the President of Sanctuary. It was supposed to be a Cinderella story, but Senna can't stand the health and status obsessed city. Her only escape comes from repairing an antique piece of wireless tech, an endeavor that is seemingly hopeless due to the interference that reduced such tech useless after the invasion. Senna believes that if she can get the device to work, she can use it to contact the life she left behind. However, it isn't her old life she reaches when she gets the device to power on. Instead she catches the SOS of a little girl who claims to be held captive in the toxic world outside of the dome. The girl offers a reward for her rescue-the cure for the plague that forced humanity into quarantine and took Senna's father from her.
