No one saw it coming. No one could have guessed that the vaccine that was supposed to save lives, would take them instead. Once the death toll started to climb, it took less than a day for the world to change forever. 

When Bri's roommate suddenly develops a taste for cannibalism, she finds herself trapped in her upstairs bathroom, unable to comprehend the horrors that she sees through the small window. That limited view of the outside world doesn't begin to show Bri just how much danger she's going to be in when she finally escapes her home. 

Running for her life, Bri won't be alone for long. With the help of a bat wielding stranger, she barely escapes the overrun city. Together, they just might survive long enough to find a safe haven. 

The zombie apocalypse is a strange time to be alive. The dead walk, and eat the living, but they're not the most dangerous thing this new world has to offer. There are other survivors out there. And not all of them can be trusted.

This was my one morning to sleep in without the grandmonsters here and what did I do? I woke up at 6:30am thinking about Bri and Shawn and had to come upstairs to read. Great book. Not usually my genre but I'm hooked, again.

Zombies Vs Aliens: Respawn by krazydiamond

A comic apocalyptic sci-fi romp. The zombie apocalypse has come and gone, the world has ended, humanity has crumbled... Nobody told the aliens. Alien brains have some interesting side effects on the ravenous undead. Just ask zombie Li, who wakes up after a quick bite. The world is a wasteland, she's a walking corpse, and her 'snack' melted into a noxious puddle of goo. It's not her day. Determined to figure out what the hell happened to her world, Li hits the road, seeking others like herself. The end of the world brings strange company, and stranger enemies. Struggling to wrap her head around being a zombie and already Li's existence is in danger thanks to impending alien invasion. It's going to take more than a handful of quirky zombies to stop them. She's going to need some serious fire power, like the remnants of the human race. If she can find them. #7 in Science Fiction on 12/3/15 ***Second Place for Science Fiction in Best Fiction Competition*** ***Contains a sprinkling of strong language and zombie violence. No aliens or zombies were harmed in the making of this novel. Recommended for ages 15 and up.***

Safe [Daryl Dixon X Reader] by deadseoulwriter

Hurt, pain, torture; that's all you've ever endured. Never, have you felt ecstasy or pride. A life with your parents made sure of that. Friends... aren't something you've decided to make a reality. They were a fantasy. A broken one at that. So, when the dead start walking you find yourself thinking, "Will you ever truly be alive again?" [COMPLETED]

Solitude (Clementine X Male Reader) by Burning_Poppy

You were eight when the dead began their reign. It happened in the blink of an eye, and the world around you was unprepared. The walkers simply ascended their throne made of human bones and flesh and ruled without question. Nothing could be done about them. They're mindless corpses that feel no pain and can survive anything unless their brain is destroyed. Years after it all began, you're alone. Wandering, surviving the best you can, struggling when the past comes back with a vengeance. Starving, wounded, and out of options, a group takes you in and helps you. Fixing your wound, feeding you, providing shelter, everything you could ask for. You don't want to stay, but you have no choice because, outside their walls, the enemy waits. Ready to kill you the second they find you.

Surviving Daryl Dixon by flowuz

In a world overrun by the undead, survival is the only law. Isabelle, a lost girl wandering the apocalypse, is found by Daryl Dixon, as she's passed out and surrounded by walkers. He saves her from being eaten, only to tell her to get lost once she wakes up. Yet, despite his harsh demeanor and insistence, they find themselves unable to part ways. Daryl's lethal skills and ruthless nature make him as dangerous as the Walkers; perhaps even more deadly. His dark, haunted eyes reveal little, and his words are a harsh mix of survival and regret. "I should've done it. I should've killed you," he mutters, torn between keeping her safe and pushing her away. Isabelle's persistence chips away at his defenses, but Daryl remains guarded. "Look, whatever it is you're holding on to; it's already gone, man. Wake the hell up," he snaps, trying to drive her away while staying close enough to protect her. His internal conflict is loud-he hates and loves her, wishing she were gone but unable to let her go. Despite his rough edges, Daryl's protective instincts emerge. "I don't know what I'm doing. But I'm trying really hard. I wish things were like how you want them to be. That's the way they should be. But they aren't. And I have to keep you safe. I'm gonna hold onto the gun for a while... till you want it. Or not. But either way, you're stuck with me." "Look, the world is just shit sometimes. And you live with it. Sometimes that's all you can do." In "Surviving Daryl Dixon," Isabelle must navigate a world of external threats and the complexities of a man who is as much a savior as he is a danger.

[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness.

The Dead Walk Among Us by JennaMarissa13

It's been ten years since the fall of humanity. I was only ten years old when the zombies took over. The military told us to flee underground, explaining that it was safer. The zombies are smart, too smart. They can learn to hide themselves. Some of them disguise themselves to look like normal people. We tell them apart by checking their eyes. Zombies have enlarged pupils compared to humans.

𝑨 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒅𝒚. (𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒏) by xo_madness

Trying to survive the apocalypse isn't just about slaying the undead. It's a 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 lot more complicated than that. Hardly anybody ever considers the barbaric murderers with the Cheshire Cat smiles or the cunning killers lurking around for their next victim to slice open. Or what about the huge range of communities out there, trying their best to thrive in the new world? Surely, not all of them are bad... right? Well, Brooklyn Scotts would be inclined to disagree to that last point made. For the girl has been surviving on her own since it all started, joining and leaving small groups here and there. But when she just so happens to unintentionally seek help on her travels, her whole world is turned upside down and she finds herself breaking all the rules. <><><> Highest Rank(s): » #1 Negan » #1 TheWalkingDead » #1 Rickgrimes <><><> || Negan X OC || || Mature Content || || Please Enjoy || <><><> » started late 2017 » completed summer 2019

I have no need to communicate with others. Especially when everyone is pretty much already dead. I haven't spoken a word in almost two years. There's no need for conversation when the words that are spoken constantly go unheard. [COMPLETED] #1 in darylxreader (10/24/19) #1 in daryldixonxreader (11/17/19)
