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.

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.

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)

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.

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]

However, while she's rescuing another survivor, Diane gets bitten by one of the monsters. She hides it and runs away, knowing she only has days left to live. But she soon discovers she isn't turning into a zombie - she's turning into something else. --------- Excerpt: I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

Rise of the Dead by GeorgiaMD2000

We don't choose to die, we're designed too. It was just never the creator's plan for the dead to rise again. Zombies were the characters in our nightmares, the actors in our films and the taboo we'd all secretly admired. Never did we imagine they'd become our reality. Now every day is a battle for survival, a fight against the dead that seems to be creeping ever closer. We don't choose to die. We're designed too. * This story follows a small group of teens in a race for survival against the infected, with death, disease and the unshakable feeling that they're being stalked- life just got a whole lot harder.

Zombies Happened by Cinttie

Stacy always knew a zombie apocalypse was coming-it wasn't a matter of if, but when. While everyone else laughed at her, she spent her life getting ready for the day the world would fall apart. Now that chaos has hit and society is crumbling, the very people who called her crazy are begging for her help. But can she forgive them, or will she let them face the nightmare they never saw coming? Things get even more complicated when she's forced to team up with the most infuriating guy she's ever met. Will he break through her walls, or will she push him away like she's done with everyone else? In a world where trust can be a matter of life or death, Stacy has to decide if she's willing to let anyone get close-or if she'll go it alone, no matter the cost.

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.***
