Coywood Creek

The Stand meets the sharp wit of a modern rom-com in this dystopian survival story about a girl who discovers the end of the world is a lot harder without her favorite snacks.

It starts with a click. The lights go out. The cell towers die. A magnificent aurora dances in the southern sky.

Eighteen-year-old Zoey quickly realizes she can’t stay home alone in her parents’ empty condo. Packing her snacks and signature sarcasm, she teams up with her neighbor Kent to seek sanctuary at Coywood Creek. Their harrowing journey through a crumbling world requires not just survival skills, but a strong sense of humor.

However, when they reach the mountain retreat, they realize "safety" is a relative term. With dwindling food supplies and neighbors who aren't what they seem, Zoey must confront her deepest anxieties. At the end of the world, there are two certainties:

• You have to fight for what you love.
• There are never enough OREO cookies.

Layered and nostalgic, Coywood Creek is a witty exploration of resilience, technology, and what remains when the power goes out for good.
