Dusk of The Fallen by codya714

Years after a nuclear disaster, the world is a dying wasteland. The sky is permanently covered in thick, gray clouds, blocking sunlight and plunging the land into an endless dusk. Radiation has twisted both nature and humanity, creating monstrous mutants that roam the ruins. Survivors exist in fractured factions, scavenging for dwindling resources and fighting to hold onto what little remains. Among these survivors is Phillip Harper, a former paramedic turned reluctant leader, trying to keep his small group alive. When a young girl in their camp falls deathly ill from radiation poisoning, Phil makes the desperate decision to seek out a rumored bunker said to contain pre-war medicine and supplies. But as they journey deeper into the wasteland, they face not just external threats-mutants, raiders, and starvation-but also the slow unraveling of their own humanity.

The Rain (Part III of the Runner Series) by so1tgoes

The conclusion of The Runner series. ================================== Half a year has passed since the fall of Babel. In that time, tales of the Runner have drifted from truth into legend. There are stories of a thief who toppled an empire, whispers about a hero who sacrificed everything to free us from the iron grip of a madwoman. They say that the Runner is broken. They say that she is fearless. They say that no enemy stands a chance against her unstoppable army of warriors. They say that she fights because her veins run red with rebellion, but I know better. She fights because she has nothing left to lose.

After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's Shortlisted

Running Out of Face by -kk-kk-

Society has finally found a way to determine from birth which children will grow up to be depressed and possibly suicidal. They've deemed these children 'terminals', separating them from the 'pures'. This dystopian novel warns against the tragic stories that will come if we continue to dismiss the depressed as inhuman instead of working towards understanding and helping others that need it. No one is too far gone. Everyone can be happy when given the right chance. This story has no smut, but PS: the ending is worth it 😏
