The As the Light Dies series by Boyd Craven Jr. begins with As The Light Dies in 2022 and ran to nine books by 2026. Six of those nine volumes appeared in 2023 alone — The Darkness Grows, Fighting The Darkness, A Light In The Darkness, A Threat In The Darkness, Journey Into The Darkness, and Terror In The Darkness — giving readers a fast-paced release schedule to follow across that year.
The series titles track a recurring tension between darkness and the effort to push back against it, with entries like A Light In The Darkness and Attacking The Darkness reflecting that pattern. The ninth book, Cades Cove (2026), marks the most recent addition to the series. Reading in order from the first book is strongly recommended, as the storylines build on each other from the start.
