Start the first season of the groundbreaking post-apocalyptic serial: Yesterday's Gone; the breakout horror/sci-fi series with over 1000 5-star reviews!
They thought they were alone. But they were wrong...
On October 15th, humanity went missing, leaving only a handful of scattered survivors behind. The world is now empty of friends, family, and neighbors.
Among them, an eight-year-old child searches for his family, only to find a nightmare he never expected.
A special agent turned enemy of the state survives a fiery plane crash with no way to reach his daughter. But is he who he says, or even thinks he is?
A reporter will do anything to reconnect with his son, even if he has to wander the empty streets of Manhattan to find him, and even if those streets aren't really so empty.
A mother and daughter are desperate to survive with their two remaining neighbors, on the run but with nowhere to go.
A teenage boy who spent his life bullied, and who might be the only person in the world that's happy to see it gone.
And a brilliantly brutal serial killer who will do anything he can to stay at the top of the food chain.
Now these strangers must find the strength to survive in the new world.
But they are not alone.
In the absence of civilization, a new threat emerges. In the stillness, it waits and watches, preying on their weakness. Their only hope is to find more survivors, rise above their fear, and face the oncoming darkness.
But can they unite before they too are lost? And can they all be trusted?
Get Yesterday’s Gone now and see what thousands of readers like you have already discovered!
★★★★★ "I started reading this book and COULD. NOT. STOP. I read it at work. I read it in the bathroom. I admit it - I even read it a little while driving - during every stop light and every parking lot imitation I sat through on I-84. I couldn't put it down until I was done." -- Sidney von Katzendame
★★★★★ "So, first star is for creating the mystery. Second star is for the writing which sets the scene without weighing down the action with irrelevant and excessively detailed descriptions. Third star is for neatly balancing action with story so that neither outweighs the other. Fourth star is for the array of characters whose personalities and personal stories are built along the way. Fifth star is for making me want to continue the story and buy the next season." -- Tammy
★★★★★ "When Dickens wrote in serialized format he was paid by the word. This led to lengthy chapters that came to define the modern novel. If Platt & Wright could get paid per tense moment, they'd make serious bank." -- WMG
★★★★★ "I absolutely LOVE 'Yesterday's Gone', and although I haven't hit the explanation yet (and trust me, thinking of the possibilities of an explanation during Season 1 and 2 will drive you absolutely crazy), My time for me and my husband to read this series together every night is the best spent time in my day." -- Micah Harkins
Season One of Yesterday’s Gone by Sean Platt and David W. Wright is a tense post-apocalyptic serialized thriller that will leave you guessing to the end.
Combining TV’s thrilling, episodic nature with the in-depth character only found in novels, Yesterday’s Gone created a new wave in fiction. If you like The Stand and LOST, you’ll love this series that combines tension, intrigue, and fear of the unknown.

"Stephen King Meets Lost"
"I'm hooked!"
"It is hard to get a confession from a Viet Nam Marine Grunt, but I now confess; Sean and Dave, you have me hooked!"
"If you love the mile a minute action and adventure of Doctor Who, the suspense and shock of The Walking Dead, the 'oh Hell' and 'you've got to be kidding' of Lost, AND the 'What the Hell was that?!' of Fringe, then this is the book for you!!"

Extraordinarily ordinary characters that are in no way ordinary, or Extraordinary. ( you'll have to read the book and decide for yourself if that makes sense) The character building is natural and appropriate to the story and its world, nothing ever feels forced or gluttonous which as a reader, I appreciate immensely.
Platt and Wright have a gift, the gift of "pacing" Some authors race the reader through a story, with an "all action, all the time" attitude leaving the stench of an author's panic in the air, then there are authors that drag a bunch of nothing on endlessly, describing every branch of a flower or feather on a lizard...
Platt and Wright don't subject their readership to such horrors, they take you on a journey free of reality turbulence and banish boredom to lesser scribes. As they should.
Genre splicing seems to be another of their talents, a bit of sci-fi, a smidgen of horror, a dash of the paranormal and a sprinkle of mystery are just a few of the ingredients in this delicious and engaging entertainment recipe.
As a bonus, there are surprisingly few editorial mishaps.
I'm off to read season two...
I’m a sucker for apocalyptic fiction, so when Yesterdays’ Gone popped up, I got it. But, as I was reading it, I was getting more and more freaked out. End-of-the-world stories are already scary enough, but this book was particularly frightening. I went back into Amazon to read the book description and noticed it is classified as sci fi AND HORROR.
What tipped me off were the people-eating monsters and stacks of corpses… Yeah, not exactly my cup of tea.
BUT! This book has me hooked! The writing isn’t great and some characters are real pieces of work and the horror is pretty dang scary (especially for a wuss like me), but I want to figure out the mystery!
Each chapter is told from a different person’s perspective. Each of them wake up to find themselves completely alone. All (or at least most) of the people in the world have vanished. As days go by, cars disappear. Areas where towns used to be are obliterated. Trees can “talk,” but only some people can hear them.
This book was advertised as a mix between LOST and The Stand, so it’s right up my alley (aside from the scary stuff, which makes it difficult to read sometimes).
Be warned: this book is part of a series. It was released episodically, so it’s split into 6 sections, each ending with a cliff hanger. Then the story continues… FOR SIX SEASONS.
I’m so disappointed in these two books that I’ve read after the X-Gen series, which was so good. I’m just bored. This had an interesting hook, I am kind of interested in what is going on, what could have happened, but I’m just not very inspired to keep going with the story.
There’s a…bit of a disclaimer on the rest of the blurb that I didn’t post, saying that this story has people doing evil things and contains disturbing scenes. Okay…that’s fine. I want books like that, that’s interesting stuff, I’m looking forward to it. What I am not looking forward to is a scene with a teenager doing inappropriate things with a girls underwear, or having thoughts when first meeting a girl once everything’s gone topsy turvy. I was also not looking forward to reading the sentence ‘filling the mayonnaise jar’ when talking about a woman who works the corner and that’s the only time he doesn’t see her…I had to put the book down and take a cringe and gag break. I’m sorry, that is…no. Just no.
I also feel like…the writing style doesn’t really support the direction it’s trying to go in. It wants to go in the direction of adults who want something akin to The Walking Dead, but the writing style reminds me of R. L. Stine. Don’t get me wrong, I love R. L. Stine, I grew up with him and he’s the author that got me into reading, however his Goosebumps and Fear Street books are geared more toward the younger audience. Not as much detail to get to the action as quick as possible. That’s what I’m feeling here.
I don’t feel any urgency or any threat, The characters look like they’re having a hard time, but I’m not feeling it.
Again, the only thing I’m mildly interested in is what happened and what some things are, but I’m not interested enough to keep reading. I’m starting to have to force myself to pick the book up when I’ve forgotten about it.
Thank you for reading my review.

As for all the glowing positive reviews, well, to qoute the often slightly misquoted H.L.Mencken, "nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." Q.E.D.
However not the case.......I didn't really connect with any of the characters and normally when I read I can lose myself in the story however with this I stopped caring about the characters and about the reason that everybody had vanished.
It did keep me reading (just in case there were any answers!) but I won't be reading the next one.
I've read a couple of other similar stories by different authors that I found more interesting and a better pace of writing. I found with this that each chapter was about a different character but the story didn't really go anywhere, so felt I was just jumping from each character.
I downloaded it for free so no complaints, but no matter what the story and the characters were just not for me.
As to the story, it works brilliantly & does exactly what it says on the tin. It's episodic nature reminiscent of "Lost" or "24". I love the way the narrative switches between different characters & their P.O.V In this way you get a really immediate sense of danger & time passing, as well as getting a very in-depth feeling for each of them. None of the protagonists are flat or dull - & even the very unlikable ones start to develop in interesting directions. (I didn't think I'd have any time for Boricio, for example... but I now see him developing & changing in ways that may be surprising - at least, I hope so !)
