Dusk is Coming

This little snippet of a story is as short as it is powerful. There is a ton of depth in the making here!

Ryan on Goodreads

“Fanciful; innocent; fairy tale. And prophecy of doom.”

The truth of what happened at the breaking of the world is lost to the wisps of time, a husk which is used against naughty children at bedtime.

But all stories have their basis in truth, and so it for this children’s tale too. How much of it was true remains to be seen…

A Tiny Tale of Godslost

When the sun goes down on the wild plains of Centro, Lidye and her family rely on one thing to keep their children in bed: a scary old bedtime tale about Dusk — the soul‑stealing shadows said to hunt in the dark. It’s just a story… until the uninvited rider arrives; the horses panic; and something ancient speaks from the darkness outside their door.

As her husband confronts what he thinks are bandits, Lidye discovers the truth that her father‑in‑law has been warning about for years: the myth wasn’t a myth at all. Dusk has returned, and it has come for the children.

A tense, atmospheric burst of dark fantasy horror, Dusk is Coming asks one terrifying question: what if the bedtime story was the only warning you ever got?
