Seven Days

By David A Lambert

The storm was only the beginning.

When Hurricane Delilah tears New Orleans apart, paramedic Calvin Renaud fights to save lives in a city swallowed by water and ruin. But amid the wreckage, something else rises from the depths-an ancient contagion unearthed from the mass graves of LaRoux Asylum. The locals call it Lodo... the mud that doesn't let the dead stay buried.

Now, in streets haunted by shambling figures with empty eyes and unholy hunger, survival is measured in hours. Calvin carries the weight of every life he couldn't save-especially the boy who slipped from his grasp in the flood. But grief is a luxury in a world where infection blooms in seven days, and mercy sometimes means fire.

As he battles to endure the aftermath, Calvin discovers that the dead aren't the only ones to fear. Each choice carves away at his humanity, and every step deeper into the drowned city forces him to confront an impossible question: is he fighting to live... or just buying time until the mud claims him too?

Seven Days is a visceral blend of Southern Gothic horror and apocalyptic survival, perfect for fans of The Walking Dead, The Road, and World War Z. Heart-pounding, haunting, and unforgettable-this is not just the story of a man against the monsters, but a man against his own ghosts.
