187 Days

When the world ends, love is the only thing left worth risking your life for. The world as we know it has gone dark—quite literally. Six months since the collapse, Holly has survived on hope, stubbornness, and dwindling cans of food. But as hunger closes in and the shadows outside her barricaded door grow bolder, she can’t wait any longer for the man who promised he’d find her. With nothing but a battered backpack, a baseball bat, and a photograph of happier times, Holly steps out into a world where the dead walk, the mutants hunt, and every survivor has their own secrets. But Holly isn’t alone for long. Crossing paths with Tate—a fierce, resourceful teenager who’s lost her own family—forces Holly to confront both the dangers outside and the wounds within. Together, they’ll have to make impossible choices, form uneasy alliances, and navigate a ruined landscape where trust is a rare commodity and survival has a price. Tense, heartfelt, and laced with unexpected moments of humor, 187 Days is more than a post-apocalyptic road story—it’s a journey about holding on to hope, finding your people in the darkest places, and discovering just how far you’ll go for love. Will Holly’s quest for reunion lead to salvation—or something far more terrifying?
