Malady - A Zombie Survival Story: Apocalypse Gate Post-apocalyptic EMP Horror, #4

By Eddie Patin

William Rivers is dead one way or another. 
If the zombies don't kill him, his worsening pneumonia will.

For the last few months, ever since everything went to hell, William has been surviving however he can in a small Colorado mountain town. Unable to get home, he's been living on the roof of a gas station at the edge of town with a Ukrainian cook named Anton. But as William's cough worsens and his lungs fill with inevitable death, the young man is faced with the deadly prospect of going into town and braving the zombie horde to find some antibiotics from the pharmacy there. When he and Anton encounter new terrifying zombies that they haven't seen before, will the two of them be able to find the antibiotics William needs and get back to their gas station sanctuary alive? Can William cure his malady?

This is a novella related to my "Apocalypse Gate" EMP S-H-T-F series. That series involves interdimensional portals unleashing all kinds of havoc and monsters on Earth, and Colorado develops a bit of a zombie problem. Do you love guns, tactical realism, and monsters? Are you a fan of cosmic horror and dark fantasy / sci-fi? Love the Mist and Cabin in the Woods? Lovecraft? Doom? Stranger Things? EMP and Prepper Survival? This story is full of terror, suspense, and bad language. If you can dig it, strap in for a ride to Hell!
