Haven
A survival story about a mother, father, and daughter during a zombie outbreak.
This work centers on the immediate, visceral reactions of ordinary people to an insane virus. It tracks Dana’s desperate attempts to shield her son, Mike’s denial of the threat, and Hannah’s terror in the attic. The plot relies on the collision of these individual fears with a collective catastrophe. Lunsford uses these specific viewpoints to show how quickly safety vanishes. The story does not offer hope through heroism but through the raw will to survive. It is a grounded look at panic and denial when the news proves true.
Published in 2020 by E.B. Lunsford, this book emerges during a period of heightened global anxiety regarding pandemics. It taps into contemporary fears about disease and societal collapse, using the horror genre to explore isolation and the fragility of daily life.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Lunsford effectively utilizes three distinct viewpoints to illustrate how quickly safety vanishes during a viral outbreak. By contrasting Dana’s protective instincts, Mike’s denial, and Hannah’s attic anxiety, the narrative grounds the apocalypse in relatable human fear. The lack of easy escapes or guaranteed survival adds weight to the tension. This approach suits readers who appreciate tight, character-focused horror over expansive world-building, offering a visceral experience that highlights the raw will to survive rather than heroic triumphs.
