Awake in the Dark was one of Tim McBain and L.T. Vargus’ earliest collaborative efforts. The five-book series ran from 2014 to 2016, beginning with Fade to Black and progressing through Bled White, Red on the Inside, Back in Black, and Beyond the Blue. Each title uses a color motif that reflects the book’s thematic concerns.

The series blends horror with supernatural elements, creating an atmosphere of mounting dread across the five installments. It predates the duo’s better-known Violet Darger thrillers and shows the foundations of their collaborative approach to tension-driven storytelling.
