The Journal: Ash Fall

The survival saga of Allexa Smeth and the town of Moose Creek continues. Second in the smash-hit post-apocalyptic thriller series.

While the rest of the nation has begun the slow process of recovering from the devastating earthquakes of months earlier, the small town of Moose Creek is still suffering. The food bank and soup kitchen Allexa Smeth helped established to feed her community have closed, but the locals rally and find ways to feed themselves, leaving Allexa the luxury of taking care of just her small family. Hope is on the horizon, but still out of reach.


Attacked by a vicious few who would take her family's most precious resource, Allexa Smeth fights back with her very being to protect her own, but it's only the beginning of what's to come. More earthquakes rock the nation and the perplexing sudden apathy of the town shocks Allexa into withdrawal when she realizes they are no longer heeding her warnings.


The lasting darkness they are plunged into doesn't have anything to do with a light switch.

"Learning from survival fiction is one of my passions although I do recognize and accept that many of the scenarios are quite extreme. Still, as a prepper that is continually challenged by the pursuit of knowledge, I keep reading and keep playing the 'what if' game in my own mind. One of the best series of books for doing so is Deborah D. Moore's The Journal series." —Backdoor Survival
