Publisher Description

The line between light and dark is thinner than you think.

In the woods surrounding a quiet Midwestern town, an ancient malevolence awakens. Unseen by most, the Darkness hungers for the radiant energy of children—a feast it craves with an insatiable thirst. A decade after a nightmarish onslaught shattered the community, this evil thought to be vanquished returns, more ferocious than ever.

Christina finds herself once again at the heart of the storm. The Darkness destroyed her family and twisted her childhood friend Fiara into something neither fully human nor wholly monster. But this time, Christina refuses to be a victim. Determined to fight back, she rallies an extraordinary group of gifted individuals, each with unique talents and untapped energy. Together, they form an unlikely alliance, bound by a shared to rescue their abducted friends and unravel the sinister enigma that threatens their world.

As they venture deep into nightmarish realms, monstrous creatures and inner demons rise to confront them. Secrets become their weapons, trust their shield. The line between light and dark blurs, and the fate of their world hangs by a thread. In this battle against ancient malevolence, only the bravest hearts will endure.

Darkness Calls beckons you into a world where the line between light and dark blurs, where friendships forged in adversity become the armor against ancient malevolence. Will their combined strengths be enough to stem the tide of darkness? The battle for survival is about to ignite once more, and only the bravest hearts will endure.

“wow what an exciting and terrifying adventure! This was my first fantasy horror book but I enjoyed every minute reading it. once I started I couldn't stop! It was exciting and unpredictable. This story follows a group of teenagers who are having strange things happen to them and something drove them all apart but it's up to them to come together and face the darkness and save their town and those within it! There is death and murder in this story as well as some violence. This is an incredible story that is wonderfully written! I highly suggest taking the chance and giving it a read!!”

“DARKNESS Calls I was thoroughly captivated by the book, which showcased impressive character development and a narrative that seamlessly integrated multiple viewpoints. The story's nuanced portrayal of high school anxiety, bereavement, and social disconnection was both poignant and relatable.”

“Imagine the Loser's Club from IT are in the Odd Thomas universe while battling entities in the Upside Down. Joe has waded through the darkest parts of his mind and pulled out the greatest story he's ever written. If you love a story filled with fear, love, suspense, and hope, then this is the perfect book. I couldn't stop thinking about the book and hated putting it down.”
