Odium Origins Part One — Claire C. Riley

When hell claws its way up from the dark depths of the earth, and the dead begin to walk again, for several people the zombie apocalypse doesn't just mean the end of the world as they know it, it is also the beginning of a brave new life for them. For some it offers freedom, for others a deeper torment and unforgiving life than they ever thought possible. The coward, the street rat, the hero, and the lovers, everyone has their place. What really decides their fate in this new existence, nature, or nurture? Who they become when the world goes to hell is the true decider on their own humanity, and will ultimately decide their fates. Forever changed, they have to learn to adapt to this dangerous and dark new world before they become one of the living dead themselves. Odium Origins is an accompaniment to the full length novel 'Odium. The Dead Saga.' It contains several short stories featuring some of the characters that you loved to hate. This novella can also be read as a standalone book.
