What Once We Feared: An Original Forest of Hands and Teeth Story

By Carrie Ryan
What Once We Feared: An Original Forest of Hands and Teeth Story by Carrie Ryan digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

When the zombie apocalypse hits and the dead begin to rise, Jonah and his friends are on a class field trip downtown.  Panicked, they make a split-second decision to seek shelter in the Overlook, an apartment complex built like a fortress on the edge of town.  But as they begin to face the realities of what it will take to survive, they realize that while making the decision of where to run was easy, living out the consequences of that decision may be impossible.  From Carrie Ryan, the New York Times bestselling author of the Forest of Hands and Teeth books, What Once We Feared is an original digital short story about facing a world that is forever changed and in which survival means more than merely escaping the undead.

“April 2023:I picked this up in hopes of finding my groove in my desire to read again. I had forgotten how much I liked the simplicity of an end-of-the-world tale.these group of kids seem to be resourceful and it might be nice to read their story sometime. To see how they survived the first few nights until there was just one of them left. Previous rating: 3 ---------------- what makes The Forest of Hands and Teeth such a unique and wonderful series makes this short story bland. the original series had such a unique spin on the zombie genre telling the story from an isolated group of people, this short story deviates from that formula and tells another tale of a group of people when the outbreak hits the population.”
