As the world spirals into turmoil, 18-year-old Irias finds herself facing a nightmare upon returning home from a long day of hunting in the dense, shadowy woods. The familiar sight of her quaint cottage is shattered by an overwhelming sense of dread. She steps inside to discover that her mother and siblings have pashed, leaving behind only chilling bite marks that hint at a monstrous fate. 

Her heart races as she turns to find her father-once a loving figure, now transformed into a grotesque, mindless creature driven only by primal rage. The man whom she looked up to has morphed into a terrifying beast, his eyes vacant and wild, embodying the very horrors that have befallen their world. 

In that harrowing moment, Irias realizes the full weight of her loss; her family is gone, and she stands alone in the ruins of her childhood home. With no choice but to leave behind the only safety she has ever known, she steels herself for the uncertain journey ahead, determined to survive in a world turned upside down.All Rights Reserved

For Dani, survival begins the moment her classmates turn feral, her home becomes a battleground, and the people she loves become monsters. Alongside her brothers, Kale and Beckett, she fights to endure a nightmare where every scream signals another death and trust is a dying luxury.

There's days where you'd ask yourself 'could today get any worse?' and then one day it did. It was something that took everyone by surprise, it took everyone. You could count a girl that survives it lucky but I question would it be better that I was dead. --------- Embark on a apocalypse with a girl who lived a cruel life before the world started dying. Through the journey she'll need more than what she's given, loose those who found her and find hope in the hopeless.

So Long and G'night by KennyIsArlos

All 15-year-old Kenny wanted to do was live a quiet and peaceful life with his mother, the only person who he has left in the world. With his abusive father, mentally-ill best friend Shane, and enemies all around, he already has a hard-enough time achieving his goal and making the best of it. But life gets ten times worse when the apocalypse arrives. Now all Kenny has are two main goals for the rest of his days: protect the ones he loves, and survive the flesh-eating beasts that are hunting him down. "I finally look at Shane after all of this... he's terrified. I mutter only one little thing to my best friend before the chaos breaks loose: 'Run.'"

Alive With The Dead by rot_and_write

The world didn't end all at once-it unraveled slowly. Quietly. While no one was looking. Neve, a introverted 17 year old, was always good at noticing things. The way her neighbors' pets started vanishing. The way the news anchors stumbled over their words. The way her school suddenly cared about checking students for "fevers" but never offered explanations. Still grieving her mother and lost in the silence of her own home, Neve watches as the world slips further from normal-until the night the power goes out. Until the night she sees a man, gaunt and bloodied, standing in her backyard. Watching her. After that, everything falls apart. As cities burn and the dead walk the streets, Neve is forced from the quiet life she knew into a fractured world ruled by survival, instinct, and impossible questions. Who can be trusted? What do the revenants-the "turned"-still remember? And how much of yourself can you lose before you're no longer human? Alongside Jace, a guarded 19 year old, a boy with his own shadows, Neve walks a path littered with broken people, fading memories, and echoes of a past that refuses to stay buried. Her journal becomes a guide, her sketches a record of what the world used to be-and what might still be worth saving.. She meets people. She loses them. She learns to trust, and she learns to grieve. But most importantly-she survives.

THE RISKS by EmJayRey

"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

Finding Hope by Cal_Wicks

Cold and wet with Zombies approaching, he needs to find a way out. Brandon, a scavenger, finds Forest and offers his help, to get him to safety. Is he offering help or satisfying an ulterior motive? Will the offered escape route be safer for Forest than his current situation? Can Forest trust Brandon to get him to the safe destination or is he walking towards a greater danger. Together, they must unite to see the nightmare through or both succumb to a worse fate.

ALL THAT REMAINS (Book 1) - A Zombie Story by 0Marwa

In a world ravaged by the collapse of civilization, where the dead walk and the living fight for scraps, survival is more than instinct- it's the only thing that matters. Bella Grant, a 21-year-old engineering student, finds herself thrust into a chaotic new reality. When she's saved by Max, a stoic military captain with a dark past, the two must rely on each other to stay alive. But the infected are not the only danger. In this new world where trust is a fleeting memory, Max and Bella discover that the greatest threat to their survival may come from the living. Ruthless and desperate survivors are willing to do anything to claim what's left, testing their courage and their growing bond in ways that could break them. With enemies at every turn and their bond growing stronger, Bella and Max must face the question: will they make it through this brutal new reality, or will the dangers of survival tear them apart? Is there hope left, or is humanity truly lost? And most of all, can they find a way to keep what remains of their lives intact? ___ Note : This is the first book in a three-part series, but can be read as standalone. The story will continue in ALL THAT FOLLOWS, where the scars of survival run deep, and the world is far from done.

Diane Salvino had never been dealt a winning hand. Life seemed hell-bent on testing her limits-growing up rough in the outskirts of Waco, enduring a childhood best left unspoken, throwing herself into the military, and carving out a place in Black Ops before trading combat boots for scrubs. Survival had always been her specialty. But for the first time, she thought she'd found something worth living for. Joel Miller and his daughter, Sarah. A family. A future. Until it all went up in flames. Two decades later, the world had rotted, and so had the last remnants of her heart. The outbreak stole Sarah on the first night, shattered her marriage the next, and left Diane to forge a new legend in the ashes of a world that once was. To FEDRA, she was the Boogeyman. To the Fireflies, a War Dog. To Joel, a ghost. And to one defiant, sharp-tongued girl named Ellie, she was something else entirely. A reluctant protector, maybe even a second chance. Now, fate had thrown her back into Joel's path, their history tangled in grief and blood, both bound by the impossible task of shepherding the one girl who might just save the world, and a sixteen year old boy with a deadeye shot, the journey ahead is certain. But in a place where survival demands sacrifice, Diane knows better than anyone, hope is the most dangerous weapon of all. #1 in Joel #1 in Miller #1 in The Last of Us #1 in Pedro Pascal #1 in season one #2 in Post-Apocalyptic #3 in Ellie #5 in survival #6 in outbreak #9 in The Last of Us

When a mysterious stranger named Alex appears with news of thriving communities beyond their isolated walls, Danelle faces an impossible choice: cling to the safety of isolation or risk everything for the chance at something more. As buried family secrets surface and old wounds are forced into the light, she must learn that some battles can't be fought with weapons-and that the most dangerous thing in a dead world might be hope itself.
