Nightfall

Nightfall Nightmareland Volume One

"Tomorrow died on the last morning of May. There were those who saw it happen, who watched the shadow fall, who felt the chop of the guillotine as the world lost its head. Everyone else witnessed only the aftermath, for the event itself lasted no longer than a moment. They stepped outside from windowless rooms, they climbed up from crowded subways, they pulled back the blinds to let in the sun, and found the nightmare waiting for them."But the dark is only the beginning.

This series seemed to consume the horror community on Book Twitter about a year or so back, so I had grabbed it on my Kindle while the hype was hot. Late to the game, I finally cracked into this series and damn I wish I hadn't waited so long. This one is good, real good. If I had to sum Nightfall up in just one paragraph I’d say this: It’s lyrical, poetic, and grim without celebrating it’s bleak outlook. It’s wonderfully atmospheric and hints at a desolate world forming rapidly with the falling darkness, starting very local in scope but hinting at the widespread terror spreading across the Earth. All of this wrapped in an air of growing tension around the fact that as dark and brutal as this first book gets, we’re just getting started.
