I didn't care anymore, not after what happened at The Oasis... and afterward.
I just walked, not concerned if I'd live or die. Strange how things change. How a little house, a dog, and a total stranger worked their way into my heart and soul when I didn't think I had either of those things left anymore. I thought I was too old for all of it, certainly too old to care much for my own wellbeing. But the others? Having them around changed my outlook, made me protective.
When new dangers appeared, having friends made me truly understand one thing: fear.

SPR review: 5 stars "While a book about outcasts banding together may seem as overdone a trope as zombie fiction itself, once again I have to assure anyone reading this that the author, Keith Soares, is in all ways a step above those expectations in his ideas and his execution... I don't recommend reading this book; I recommend reading every book this author publishes, as I have no doubt he will continue raising the bar."
IndieReader review: 4.5 stars "Soares paints a frightening, realistic picture of life in a post-apocalyptic world... It's refreshing to read a book in this vein that allows the reader to explore a protagonist's anguish without relying on a flat, twenty-something hero."
"This book should come with a warning: You will not be going anywhere for a while once you read the first chapter."
"'The Hopeless Pastures' is a worthy sequel to 'The Oasis of Filth' — a story that stands on its own, but also expertly sets up the final chapter to this compelling series."
"Boy does the author deliver. The dramatic arcs of the story are like riding a great rollercoaster."
"Soares does a masterful job of making the situations and outcomes seem eerily plausible, which heightens the creepiness factor and suspense immensely for me."
