The Listening Dark: Book 2 of The Quiet Hunger

By Silas Black

SOMETHING IS LISTENING. IT KNOWS YOUR NAME.

When the dead begin whispering through static, the world doesn't end-it listens.

Across America, voices call from the dark. Loved ones. Friends. Children. Names carried on wind, scratching through radios, seeping through walls. At first, people think it's grief. Then they realize it's not.

Hollowed, infected, and changed, they walk in silent Choirs toward something buried beneath the earth-something ancient, vast, and awake.

Elias Vane, a former Army signals intelligence specialist, joins a small group of survivors bound by rules that keep them human:

Never answer.
Never trust the voices.
Never forget who you were before the whispers came.

But as the Choirs grow and reality fractures, Elias discovers the horrifying truth:

This isn't a plague.
It's an awakening.

And what wakes beneath the world doesn't want to destroy humanity-

It wants to hear us forever.

The Listening Dark is a cinematic apocalyptic horror novel blending psychological terror, cosmic dread, survival horror, and existential suspense into a haunting descent beneath the end of the world.
