Children of the Dark puts ancient predators beneath a small Indiana town and then wakes them up. The original 2016 novel follows the chaos that erupts when creatures older than human civilization emerge from underground. The Night Flyers continues the story in 2024, raising the stakes as the surviving characters face an expanded threat.

The series delivers small-town horror in the tradition where ordinary communities are built on top of extraordinary dangers, and the body count reflects the scale of what’s been unleashed.
