When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine.

A zombie apocalypse was a ridiculous idea to people who were making plans to survive the end of the world. Everyone thought it would be a nuclear war, but when a virus destroyed civilization and contaminated the environment, survivors were left to forage for food and shelter. This is the continuing story of a handful of survivors who came together by chance and discovered a network of government-funded shelters built to ensure the survival of politicians and important people.
By: Bob Howard
Publisher's Summary
A post-apocalyptic and horror collection from best-selling author T.W. Piperbrook!
"Darkness and Light Collide in the Ashes of Civilization"
Bullets, bunkers, and the roving undead fill this post-apocalyptic and horror collection, which includes stand-alone tales in the Contamination, Outage, and Ruins universes, among others!
"Better Guns and Gardens"
One of the last survivors of a deadly virus, Martin is out of food, luck, and time. More importantly, he is out of hope. It seems he has only one choice left.
And then his wife brings up a glimmering possibility. Her suggestion may lead to their salvation, but at what cost?
"On the Run"
Charlotte should've listened to her husband's ranting about the end of the world. Now all of his preparations, warnings, and stockpiles are meaningless: Wyatt is dead, and Charlotte is alone.
Will she survive the insanity of the streets? Or will she succumb to the spreading plague, The Sickness?
"First Cut"
For years Stephen Silva has blended into the background, watching those around him take advantage of their beauty and privilege, waiting for the day he can even the odds.
Tonight, he might just get his wish....
"Doom with a View"
Weeks after the contamination, Carter is losing hope of ever seeing his sons again. Doomed to live out the rest of his life in his mountain bunker, he teeters between acceptance and despair. And then he sees something down the steep side of his mountain that will change everything.
Have his prayers been answered?
Includes these stories plus eight more stand-alone tales, most of which have never been published!

Excellent collection!
Excellent collection of short stories from T.W. Piperbrook. The Shadowed Wall is probably my favorite, but only because The Ruins series is my favorite series by Piperbrook. I honestly lived each story in this collection and would love to hear more short stories from the author, hopefully with the same narrator. I love Sean Runnette's narration. Always a pleasure to listen to.
