Recs if you like Survivor Song...

We think of summer as the season of light, but shadows are longest when the sun is highest.

From the rotting porches of the South to the blood-stained cabins of the North... We call them the Summer Nightmares.

Zombie reading list packed with outbreaks, survival, and the occasional accidental bite. Even the apocalypse has its awkward moments.

books that centre around the apocalypse or the potential for an event to become apocalyptic. may include some dystopian books, zombie stories, climate fiction, pandemic narratives, and natural disasters. the story may centre on a single place rather than the entire world. not all of these were perfect reads but they were still interesting. contains only books i've read

get ready for everything except the word “zombies” to be used
