The world, as Alex Chen knew it, had fractured beyond repair. The year was a ghost, a relic of a time when governments held sway and infrastructure meant more than shattered concrete and rusted rebar. America was no longer a nation, but a patchwork quilt of territories, each a desperate scramble for survival. In this mosaic of decay, the East Coast Police Department, or ECPD, stood as a thin, fraying shield. Their jurisdiction, a meager few hundred miles of crumbling asphalt and scattered, desperate outposts, felt less like a territory and more like a last stand. #Dystopian #ApocalypticFiction #PostApocalyptic #Survival #ECPD #Series #Dystopian
Maya Ramos, a miracle worker with grease-stained hands and eyes that saw the soul of an engine, kept these metal titans breathing, her workshop a sanctuary of organized chaos in the surrounding desolation.
Alex Chen, a man who had once patrolled the gleaming, albeit corrupt, streets of NYPD, now navigated this shattered world with a heavy heart and an even heavier conscience. The rot he’d fought in the old world had merely spread, festering into a continent-wide plague of desperation.
The landscape itself was a testament to the world’s unraveling. Once vibrant shores were now choked with plastic debris and the skeletal remains of ships, their hulls like beached leviathans. Inland, the arteries of commerce, the highways and byways, had become no-man’s-lands. They were arteries of peril, patrolled by opportunistic raiders and desperate scavengers. The air, thick with the perpetual haze of unchecked industry and the lingering dust of forgotten cataclysms, offered little respite. Each breath was a gamble, a taste of the world’s slow, suffocating demise. Resources were a constant source of conflict. Fuel was hoarded, water purified with desperate ingenuity, and food, when found, was a treasure to be defended with one’s life. Every settlement was a fortress, every journey a potential battlefield. #Dystopian #ApocalypticFiction #PostApocalyptic #Survival #ECPD #Series #Dystopian
Summers in Upstate New York are beautiful. After the hard winters and sub-zero cold the warm temperatures are like Heaven on Earth. The river and the railroad tracks bisected the city and any given day would find myself and my friends somewhere along one or the other.
The True: True stories from a small town are true stories from that place. From my childhood up through my adulthood. Some heartfelt, some heart rending, some the horrible truth of the life I lived at that time… #NonFiction #Crime #Drama #Thriller #KU #True
Nothing truly ends. We think highly of our race and we believe that the end of society means the end of the world, but it does not. This time on Hay Vida we might not have to retreat to our DNA. It might be possible to go forward and adapt, but even if we did retreat it would not be world ending. It would only mean beginning anew in a more basic configuration of the life form we truly are. #SciFi #SpaceTravel #SpaceExploration #SciFiFantasy #Dark #Thjriller #Drama #KU
By Dell Sweet In the small city of Glennville people tend to stay to themselves. Neighbors matter. The streets, even in the poorest of neighborhoods are safe for children to travel on their own. But the city has its secrets, and those secrets have their dangers. Under the city, a series of caves cut from the limestone by the Black River attract visitors, children, some have entered and never come out; maybe lost, maybe part of Glennville’s secrets. Something else lives in the cold, dark caves. Something some have suspected but refused to believe. After all, things in Glennville are rational, safe…
Glennville is a series of books that play out in the City of Glennville or that are somehow connected to the city of Glennville, Dell Sweet #Dystopian #Horror #Series #KU #Kindle #Drama #Thriller
Easy crime is a series of crime fiction novels that deal with members from the same crew and the crimes they plan. Parolees out of prison, street people, desperate men and women, and people who have been in prison together. And, there are all the reasons women get into crime gangs, desperation and good looking, handsome men who influence them in bad ways. For men it is the beautiful women who look so vulnerable but will cut you in a second and walk away. The chance for all of them to be on an equal level, to pay for those drugs, or maybe just to pay for those groceries and put gas in the car… #Crime #Drama #Amazon #Readers #eBooks #series #Thriller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNFN93TX
The anonymity that made the city so vast and impersonal also made it, in a terrifyingly detached way, incredibly convenient. Each individual, a universe of cells and potential, was a mere statistical unit in the grand equation of her ambition. The sheer scale of the population meant that the loss, or even the disappearance, of a single life, or a handful of lives, would be utterly imperceptible to the collective consciousness of the city. Recreating life from the basics was not easy. Better to have millions to choose from, thousands of the dead every day to experiment on… #Dystopian #Horror #Audio #Audible #KU #Kindle #Thriller #Drama
Beeker felt the familiar knot of anxiety tighten in his gut, a constant companion on these deployments. It wasn’t the fear of death, not exactly, but the fear of failure, the fear of not being able to protect his men, the fear of making the wrong call that would send them all into the abyss.

The 27 Club The whispers began in dimly lit clubs and backstage dressing rooms, morphing into campfire tales and eventually, into a widely recognized cultural archetype: the “27 Club.” It is a fraternity no one wishes to join, a morbid roll call of musicians whose incandescent careers were extinguished at the zenith of their creative powers, all at the age of twenty-seven.#Club27 #Music #Deadat27 #GeorgeDell #JanisJoplin #JimMorrison
