Start Here: Stories From The Start (Reading Order) If this is your first time here, you’re in the right place.

You can’t explore a zombie-ridden dystopian world…

…if the world never falls apart in the first place.

Stories From The Start is a connected series of short fiction. Each story stands on its own - but together, they form something larger.
