Nightfall: Nightmareland Volume One by Daniel Barnett
4.0
Nightfall is an excellent post-apocalyptic novella, it is one for if you are looking for a quick dose of, well-written, horror. Intriguing that it is the start of a six-part series; NightmareLand.
This is the story of John Hawthorne, and a world that has been plunged into eternal darkness. The night is in control.
It is interesting to think that the horror-filled moments within this story are, quite literally, only the beginning of what’s to come.
“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.
