Dean Koontz Apocalypse Book Novels & Stories

The apocalypse was raging outside, but inside her fortress, there was peace. She opened her eyes and checked the status of the external cameras. The black hail was still falling, its toxic particles accumulating on the mountain's surface like a deadly frost. The temperature was still dropping, the wind still howling. But the bunker was holding, its walls thick enough to withstand anything the apocalypse could throw at it. The cameras showed a world in chaos—trees snapping under the weight of ice, roads buried under drifts of black slush, buildings collapsing under the pressure. It was a scene from a nightmare, and Clara was watching it from the safety of her sanctuary.

Aeron Miller was never special. When the System descended upon Earth and monsters brought civilization to its knees, he was nothing more than an ordinary survivor trying desperately to stay alive. For ten brutal years, Aeron watched humanity fall. Cities became ruins, friends became enemies, and powerful survivors fought over the few resources left. In the end, Aeron became one of the last humans alive—only to be betrayed and killed by the people he trusted. Then he opened his eyes. Seven days before the apocalypse. Seven days before the System awakens. Seven days before the world he knows disappears. Aeron has returned with everything he learned from his first life.

Ability users’ strength also diminishes when it is used constantly. That is why they need zombie cores to replenish their energy. But in her case, she can drink water from the fountain. She sat down closely beside Adrian and looked at the man in front of her. As expected, there was a calculating glint in his eyes, others may not notice it but she has seen all kinds of people in the apocalypse. She had learnt to be a better judge of character or at least expressions. Even if the man in front of her was expressionless she knew for sure that he was planning something.

After a moment, I finally spoke slowly, "Brother Evan, I didn’t mean to hide this from you. What I’m about to say might sound a little strange." At this point, I trailed off, trying to figure out how to put it into words. Mom placed the fruit on the coffee table and handed each of us a strawberry. "Just say it. It’s all over the news now. How much longer could you have hidden it from him?" "I was reborn," I continued. "In my past life, the apocalypse began on December 12th. I only survived for two years!" "The apocalypse? Reborn? Not a war?" Evan Olson was stunned. His entire worldview shattered.

Then he screams one final time and the corrupted energy detonates. The explosion is massive. Purple light consuming everything in a hundred-foot radius. When it clears, Nathan Price is gone. So are the six corrupted hybrids. Nothing left but scorched earth and silence. I collapse. Liam catches me before I hit the ground. "It's over," I whisper. "Not yet." I look up. He's staring at the southern horizon. Where another army is approaching. Larger. Faster. And at the front, unmistakable even from this distance, is Kessler.

"It's starting. Whatever you predicted, it's starting. And we're out of time." Maya followed him through chaos. Other prisoners being processed out. Guards abandoning their posts. People running. In the processing room, Daniel was waiting with Sloane. "The apocalypse," Daniel said without preamble. "It's not in twelve days. It's happening now. Temperature drops across the northeast. Sudden, catastrophic. The Governor issued an emergency order releasing you because—" The lights flickered. Went out. Emergency backup kicked in. "—because the power grid is failing," Daniel finished. "Maya, we need to get to the shelter. Right now."

“No one makes a single move. Don’t even breathe loudly. They still have their perfect hunting senses and if it found us, we are as good as dead.” Cain and Daniel frowned but nodded and I almost sighed in relief. I think this was their first time to encounter them, but of course, this won’t be that easy. The asshole beta growled, and a roar answered him. The sick, infected dragon has found us and we all are going to die.

The next day, Caitlin and Kathryn went back to Creeksville on their mother’s order to find the girl’s family and see what the people are up to and while Kathryn won’t stop talking, Caitlin’s mind drifted back to the two priests she saw yesterday and what she overheard. The priest, Aiden, had referred to them as demons taking the form of humans and he had said they will be responsible for the end of the world. It was not as if it has never crossed her mind about the dangers lurking because of the other Covens, especially the Lifeblood Coven that is ruled by Aamon. At least, he was the reason for the different Covens they have now after the death of Lady Renee, the human wife of Lord Dante. Bu

He heard footsteps coming towards him. Ruso felt a bucket of ice was showered unto him. He was ice cold. His body froze and turned numb like he was stuck in his position. His body covers by sweats due to his fear. The sound of footsteps stops and he turned to check where is Stark now and to his surprise, he's right next to him. He had no time to scream because Damon clamp his neck with his hands and took his soul by absorbing it from his mouth. And Cony came. -------

Sacrifice ritual failed. The System’s voice rang out again. [World self-destruction sequence cannot be stopped. World Self-Destruction Countdown: 1 hour, 5 minutes, 3 seconds.] Dean swayed and nearly collapsed to the ground. He reached out, as if trying to grasp something, but caught only empty air. He didn’t beg or cry anymore. Instead, he sat down beside the bed again and took my hand. His hand was cold, just like mine. “It’s okay, Sophia. It’s okay. If you don’t want to come back, then I’ll stay with you until the end. Then at least, we’ll be together forever.”
