    Halloween, 1997. Six college friends just want a low-key Halloween weekend - VHS horror marathons, their Halloween parties, and avoiding midterms. But when they find a strange flyer for a one-night only carnival, curiosity wins out over common sense. The fair isn't on any map. No one in town has ever seen it. And yet... by Halloween night, the Ferris wheel is glowing on the horizon, and old music is drifting through the cold autumn air. What begins as a night of rides and cheap thrills turns into something far darker. The games aren't fair, the prizes aren't prizes, and the smiling workers seem to know more about the friends than they should. Whispers of unexplained disappearances trace back to the 1930s. And as secrets unravel, the group realizes that not everyone came to Harrow's Fair by accident - and not everyone will leave. In a place where the line between attraction and nightmare blurs, survival may depend on trusting the very person you're afraid of.

    Winter has arrived. It has been nearly one year since the zombie hordes claimed the world. As the plague eats away at its victims' bodies, the Fox survivors search for a safe place to rebuild what they have lost. But a dangerous new threat has risen, hunting them from every direction. To survive, Cash, Clutch, and their small band of refugees must put their faith in a group of strangers and a new government with radical plans. It will take all of the Fox survivors' strength and courage to endure in this barren, hostile world. Even that might not be enough. Deadland Rising, the conclusion of the Deadland Saga, is a journey through Dante Alighieri's "Paradiso", the tale on the seven virtues, reimagined zombie apocalypse style! (Note: This is a draft so please excuse any errors. The finished novel is available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook).

    This story was inspired by total drama island (the original cast) and picture and the idea all came from @eavee_ry on TikTok, this story contains gore and had even traumatised me so much I could not sleep, so I suggest if you are not into horror, not to read this! Hope you enjoy. Sorry if there's any spelling mistakes. This is the first story I have ever made but I was interested in writing this as it seemed very interesting on TikTok!
