When the sun turns red, the dead remember your name.
At dawn in Pine Valley, the sky bleeds and the rules break. Radios die, power grids fail, graves begin to move. The Risen do not shuffle, they think, hunt, and whisper the living by name.
Erynn Calder, paramedic turned homesteader, barricades inside Havenreach High with a burned-out sheriff, a by-the-book medic, a fearless teen, and Micah, her estranged prepper brother. The siege learns, adapts, and never sleeps. Headshots work, everything else wastes bullets.
Rumors point to Fort Brenner, tunnels beneath Ash Hollow, and Project Crimson, a secret that may explain why the Blood Sun never sets. Every hour brings new rules. Every decision costs blood.
Blood Sun is relentless survival horror with tactical realism and emotional stakes. Think the grit of World War Z and The Last of Us with a folk-gothic bite.
You'll get:
Strong, grounded heroine: hard choices under pressure, no perfection.
Intelligent undead: they coordinate, adapt, and exploit hesitation.
Siege and survival logic: ammo counts, triage, convoy risk, trust on a timer.
Found family under fire: Erynn, Micah, and Lila, each vital and expendable.
Deepening mystery: the Blood Sun, a global blackout, an ancient signal in the desert.
Perfect for readers of Mira Grant, Max Brooks, Paul Tremblay, and Nicholas Sansbury Smith.
Breakneck pace. No plot armor. A finale that hits and lingers.
