  Sometimes, staying alive during the apocalypse is harder than dying. 
  Jack and Linda live a peaceful married life on their farm. Then, one day, The Collapse comes before they can adequately prepare, changing the world as they know it - and with it, their lives. 
  Now, Jack is all alone, wandering the rooms of the spacious house, painfully reminded of Linda's presence wherever he looks. He can't leave the farm - if the bloodthirsty flesh-eaters don't get to him, then the crazed humans surviving in isolation will. 
  There is something else keeping Jack on the farm. Something far too valuable to him – and his attachment to it could spell his demise.

  The Haunted House

  "The Haunted House" is a story series published in 1859 for the weekly periodical All the Year Round. It was "Conducted by Charles Dickens", with Charles Dickens writing the opening and closing stories, framing stories by Dickens himself and five other authors.
  The story appeared in the Extra Christmas Number on 13 December 1859. Dickens began a tradition of Christmas publications with A Christmas Carol in 1843 and his Christmas stories soon became a national institution. The Haunted House was his 1859 offering.
  In Dickens's opening story, The Mortals in the House, the narrator's ("John") health "required a temporary residence in the country." Knowing this, a friend of the narrator had chanced to drive by the house—situated close to a railroad stop mid-way between Northern England and London—and had written to the narrator suggesting he travel down from the North and look the place over. It was a large mid-eighteenth-century manor house on two square acres with a "sadly neglected garden," recently cheaply repaired, and "much too closely and heavily shadowed by trees." The house itself is "stiff ... cold ... [and] formal" and "in as bad taste, as could possibly be desired by the most loyal admirer of the whole quartet of [King] Georges." It was "ill-placed, ill-built, ill-planned, and ill-fitted." It was "damp ... not free from dry rot" and redolent with the "flavour of rats."
