The world as we knew it ended in a single, horrifying night—the night the dead rose to feed on the living. Countless lives were lost, many rising again with an insatiable hunger. Survivors are rare, their stories scattered, each one a testament to humanity’s instinct for survival. The Compound offers one such account, from the world of The Dead Walk Diaries.

In this gripping novella, a handful of survivors find themselves trapped where they work at Miller's Building Supply. It’s a long time family business outside of town and off the beaten path. However, the dead surround and press against their old fences and grow more and more by the day. But these survivors are builders, and they use their skills and resources to transform their workplace into a fortified compound. Block by block, fence by fence, they create a stronghold against the ever growing horde. Yet as supplies dwindle and tensions mount, it becomes clear that desperation can turn allies into enemies. Survival depends not just on keeping the dead out, but on navigating the mortal dangers within.A chilling novella set in the world of the Dead Walk Diaries, this story explores the darkest corners of human nature as the survivors face the ultimate test: can they survive each other, or will the undead claim them all?
