Publisher's Summary

From New York Times and number one Audible best-selling duo Jeremy Robinson and R.C. Bray comes a horrifying revelation about the centuries-old Three Days of Darkness prophecy, during which the legions of Hell will be unleashed on Earth....

There shall come over the whole Earth, an intense darkness lasting three days and three nights.

Miah Gray is a 27-year-old former army soldier living in rural New Hampshire with his sister, mother, and her boyfriend. He is plagued by PTSD, finding solace, but not redemption, with the aid of prescribed cannabis. All he wants to do is get high, relax with a good sandwich, and watch a meteor shower with his neighborhood crush, Jen.

He who opens his window or door out of curiosity, or leaves his home, will fall dead on the spot.

When the sun's light is blotted out the following morning and the world is plunged into darkness, Miah finds himself locked down with his family, covering windows with trash bags, lighting candles, and following the arcane rules of an ancient prophecy. But there is no escaping what comes next.

The air will be infected by demons, appearing in all sorts of hideous forms.

A brilliant flash of light fills the sky, leaving Miah changed and an Old Norse death rune etched onto his forehead. He fears he has been marked for death until the neighborhood's parents start disappearing and he's left behind. Leading Jen and a ragtag group of parentless kids, Miah hunts for answers and for their parents while trying to keep his sister safe. He charges headlong down a path that will take him to the gates of Hell...and then straight through.

All of Hell will be let loose.

The Dark is a mind-bending, character-driven sci-fi-infused horror novel like no other.

Not great but at least I managed to finish it.

How the heck does a book like this get 5 star reviews? It wasn't the worst I have ever read but it's not worth a relisten either.
I'm not a fan of YA books and that is how this one came across. The somewhat useless, self centered main character is supposed to come across as a hero. Well that certainly didn't shine thru. From his drug habit to abandoning people in his care, I don't understand why people think the character was so wonderful.
The whole premise of the book is quite ridiculous but all the characters responses to it was just eye rolling. Seriously, if the sun doesn't show itself, almost everyone is going to be going outside to look. Not think that a religious event, which they have never heard of, written in a gossip magazine, which they don't read, is what happens to be the reason for the dark.
The twist was at least a kind of break from religion which Jeremy seems quite obsessed with. Maybe he is making a breakthrough in his life and realising that belief in a man made religion is not the way to go, and belief in himself is more valuable to his mental health. I only mention that as he seems to have a bit of a pity party in the credits. We are listening to the book for a good story, not to be your therapist Jeremy. Good luck to you though on your journey back to common sense.

refreshingly original

I've read/listened to several hundred books of this genre and this story is so original I am struggling to compare it to anything I've read, I could harp on for paragraphs but long story short you simply owe it to yourself to listen to this audiobook. of the several hundred books I've read/listened to I have only left reviews on a dozen or so I was actually looking foward to endorsing this book and I am now looking into this authors complete works as if they are only half as good as this book they are still worth my time and money.

What a enthralling sci fi horror story

Brilliantly written, loved the characters, had me in stitches one minute and clinging to my seat in the next. This book was different in every way, hoping for a sequel? will be purchasing The Tribe. Narrated by the best RCBray, sounded like you all had fun with this tale.

Another great yarn

I really enjoyed this book. I’ve loved several others by Jeremy Robinson and the utter legend RC Bray (the trouble with listening to RC Bray is that most other audio book performers sound shite!) This book is very accessible and fun. You don’t have to think too hard even though it’s a thought provoking and very creative story. I don’t think these tales are not meant to be overly fancy but they’re meant to entertain, big hearted and generous writing and get you hooked in to the characters. Jeremy Robinson is very brave and authentic in the way that he draws on his own challenges that come through in some of the characters. There is nothing prudish or safe about this story but also not offensive either. Robinson manages to somehow do great horror that is graphic and gruesome without being too disturbing. Check it out!

Fantastic gory

I usualy go for stories with 3 to 5 books but I took a risk. Well let's be honist.. Not much of a risk considering the worlds bestist Narator and an established author. This book is funny, gory, horrific, clever and batshit crazy.
Get it. You won't regret it.

Slow start, recovers well

This books takes a different path to most of the others in the series. I found it slow to start but by the end I enjoyed it very much.
