The world has fallen. The Lost roam what remains.
Twenty-five years later, in small-town Oklahoma, survivors have learned that staying alive may be the easy part. Holding on to the things that make life worth living—family, community, hope, and each other—is much harder.

Lamentation Stone has only ever known the hollow remains of the world that came before. Born after the fall and raised among people who still remember what was lost, he’s beginning to discover that survival comes with its own choices, sacrifices, and consequences.

Z Is for Lamentation is the first book in my Children of Lamentation series, a character-driven zombie apocalypse story about ordinary people trying to build something worth protecting in a world that has already ended.

Available now on Amazon, free for Kindle Unlimited.

Been a zombie fan for as long as I can remember. Romero started it, and I’ve been happily watching the world end ever since.
I’ve had Reddit forever but never really been a regular user. Lately, though, the apocalypse has been on my mind more than usual, so I figured I’d finally wander over here.
Clearly I’ve been missing out.
Anyway, I’m here now. So what does this sub never get tired of arguing about?

I drive the same old stretch of highway every day on my way home. The pavement is worn, the trees have grown together over the road, and yesterday while I was driving it, my mind wandered to the book I’m writing. It made me think about how little the world itself would change at first if everything went to hell. A grocery store. A school. A gas station. Your own neighborhood.They’d still be there. They’d look almost exactly like they did the day before.
But the first time you walked into one and realized nobody was coming back, it would never feel like the same place again. I think that’s why abandoned places in post-apocalyptic stories get me more than destroyed cities ever do. You don’t need collapsed skyscrapers or craters everywhere. Sometimes it’s more unsettling when everything is still sitting exactly where we left it.
Nothing happened to the place.
Everything happened to the people.

What ordinary place do you think would feel the strangest after everyone was gone?

Is this a place where I can get opinions on my book cover update? It is post-apocalyptic dystopian genre.

Any chance I can drop my update bookcover concept here for opinions?
