The Dark Signal: When the Lights Go Out, They Wake Up

By D. Grimstone

When the lights go out, Toby and Maya learn the darkness isn't empty... it's watching.

Three days after a mysterious blackout shakes their town, two kids crawl out of a ruined bunker with more questions than answers. Devices spark to life without batteries. Street cameras move even when the power is dead. And something in the shadows knows their names.

Toby just wants life to go back to normal. Maya wants the truth. But when a broken phone begins showing live video of the forest across the street-footage of them-the two friends realize the blackout wasn't an accident. It was a warning.

Now the darkness is closing in again. The lights are flickering. And the only thing standing between them and whatever comes next... is each other.

A suspenseful, heart-pounding horror adventure perfect for fans of Goosebumps and creepy middle-grade mysteries, this story blends fear, friendship, and courage in a way young readers love. Spooky enough to thrill-safe enough for bedtime.

Sometimes the end of the world is just the beginning.
