The silence in Ashland was always the worst part. The absence of birdsong, the stillness of the wind-a constant reminder of the life that had been devoured. But lately, the silence is broken by something far more unsettling: whispers. Not the moans of the infected, but hushed rumors of the dead exhibiting new behaviors, acting with a chilling sense of urgency.
For Sheriff Brody, who's seen more than his fair share of horrors in this new world, these tales are a disturbing omen. Something is changing. And whatever it is, it's clear that the dead no longer operate by the old, predictable rules. The dead don't wait. And whatever they're waiting for, it can't be good.

Ashes of the hollow
The world ended not with fire, but with silence. Cities crumbled. Nature crept back. And in the ruins, the dead did not stay dead. Kael, a quiet survivor hardened by loss, trusts only his instincts. Lara, fierce and stubborn, refuses to let the world strip away her humanity. Together, they wander through forests, rivers, and the bones of cities-searching for hope in a land crawling with horrors. But the dead are changing. Some move in packs. Some hunt with unnatural speed. And some... some remember. When whispers of a hidden sanctuary reach them-a place untouched by the plague-they must choose: keep running from the dark, or risk everything for the faintest spark of tomorrow. In a world where laughter feels like betrayal and love is a dangerous luxury, survival is not enough. They must rediscover what it means to live.
Project Terminar
(Book Two of Experiment Number 7218. Do not read this summary or book if you have not read Book One) I listen closely through the static on the radio, trying to hear the emergency broadcasting message. An electronic voice repeated over and over, "This message is transmitted to you through the North Carolina Police Department. It is advised to stay indoors and to remain inside if at all possible. Have enough food for one to two weeks. Do not come in contact with anyone outside of your household. This message is transmitted to you through the North Carolina Police Department." I scoff to myself. I know this will not be over in a mere two weeks. - - - - - Terminar; The Latin word for Terminate. Definition: To bring to an end. Brittany Slater was free. She had finally escaped the island that she now calls Hell. But there were so many loose ends. Why had her father destroyed all of his research? His factory? His life's work? Why had he given her a chance to live? Well, she got her answer. Upon arriving to North Carolina, she was thrown right back into Hell on Earth. Grounders, Savages, what were once innocent people, they now all roam free. Her father told her the Experiment was over, and he was right. It was time for the Project to begin. To take effect. And no one could stop him. He'd turned the world into a pyramid, and he put himself and his own government on top. He'd activated Project Terminar.

The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersConcluída

The Veil ATLAS: Thread of Return
"In the ruins of Earth, silence became the first weapon of the apocalypse. What began as whispers in dreams soon tore through the minds of humanity, leaving bodies to fall like shadows collapsing into dust. Nine millennia later, survivors scattered across distant worlds struggle to remember the home they lost, and the voices that promised both salvation and doom. In a universe where time itself has become fractured, the fate of all realms rests on uncovering what really destroyed Earth... and whether it can rise again." The story begins in 2063, not with explosions or war, but with a chilling silence that spread across the globe. Strange voices crept into the dreams of humankind, luring them toward an unseen force. Then the deaths began. First one man, then cities, and soon the entire world collapsed under a plague of the mind. Nine millennia later, the legacy of Earth's fall still echoes across space. Civilizations that fled to new worlds look back on their birthplace as both a graveyard and a mystery. Legends speak of the whispers that ended humanity's golden age, but no one truly knows if they were divine, alien, or something older than the universe itself. This is the beginning of a saga of survival, memory, and destiny, where dreamers, wanderers, and warriors must confront the truth behind Earth's destruction and decide whether its fall was an ending... or the first step in something far greater.Concluída
The Last House on County Road 9
When the storm came to Hollow Creek, it didn't just bring rain-it brought something back with it. On a quiet stretch of Route 66, a brutal murder shatters the calm of a small Illinois town. Deputy Rachel Hayes, still trying to prove herself in a department that doesn't trust her, is called to investigate the death of local mechanic Daniel Weaver. But what begins as a simple homicide quickly unravels into something far darker. Each clue leads Rachel deeper into a trail of buried secrets-old photographs, missing people, and a chilling legend whispered about for generations. Together with Evan Cole, a reporter desperate to revive his career, she uncovers the truth about Hollow Creek's past: a pact made in blood, a debt that demands payment every eight years, and a presence in the corn that never truly dies. As the storms return and the town begins to collapse around them, Rachel must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to break the cycle-before Hollow Creek takes her, too.Concluída
