When the lights come back on, the quiet doesn't leave.
After a town-wide blackout, life in Larkspur should return to normal. The power is back. The streets are lit. Everyone feels calmer.
Too calm.
Sounds begin to fade. Shadows linger. People stop noticing what's wrong - and some people stop being there at all.
Rowan knows the truth: something is listening in the silence, growing stronger the quieter the town becomes. Adults call it peace. Rowan calls it dangerous.
Because once the quiet notices you...
it never lets go.
After the Lights is a chilling standalone young teen horror novel in the DeadQuiet series - perfect for readers who love eerie mysteries, creeping tension, and twists that linger long after the final page.
Keep the noise going.
Trust your instincts.
Never trust the quiet.
