Dying Days 7
A novel about survivors living under the watchful eye of a supernatural ruler.
The narrative centers on Darlene Bobich and her group within a facility called The Promised Land. This place offers food, power, and shelter to those fleeing zombie attacks. However, the Lich Lord controls every aspect of life there. The story highlights the struggle to survive another day in a world where zombies and worse threats exist. Adams explores the contrast between physical safety and spiritual or psychological peril. The characters must deal with the reality that their sanctuary is also a prison managed by a dark entity. This approach differs from typical survival tales by introducing a magical overseer rather than just environmental hazards. The focus remains on the daily grind of endurance and the constant threat of death.
Published in 2016, this work sits within the contemporary horror genre. It blends post-apocalyptic survival tropes with gothic elements through the presence of a Lich Lord. The setting reflects modern anxieties about safety and control in uncertain times.

Adams effectively constructs a claustrophobic atmosphere where the illusion of safety masks absolute supernatural control. The narrative succeeds in highlighting the psychological toll of living under the Lich Lord’s watchful eye, offering a fresh take on the zombie genre by introducing magical oversight. While it lacks scientific grounding for undead phenomena, its strength lies in exploring the daily grind of endurance and the tension between physical security and spiritual danger. This approach suits readers who prefer atmospheric dread and character resilience over plot-heavy action. It is best for those interested in the intersection of horror and dark fantasy.
