Summary
From New York Times and number one Audible best-selling duo Jeremy Robinson and R。C。 Bray comes a horrifying revelation about the centuries-old Three Days of Darkness prophecy， during which the legions of Hell will be unleashed on Earth。。。。
There shall come over the whole Earth， an intense darkness lasting three days and three nights。
Miah Gray is a 27-year-old former army soldier living in rural New Hampshire with his sister， mother， and her boyfriend。 He is plagued by PTSD， finding solace， but not redemption， with the aid of prescribed cannabis。 All he wants to do is get high， relax with a good sandwich， and watch a meteor shower with his neighborhood crush， Jen。
He who opens his window or door out of curiosity， or leaves his home， will fall dead on the spot。
When the sun's light is blotted out the following morning and the world is plunged into darkness， Miah finds himself locked down with his family， covering windows with trash bags， lighting candles， and following the arcane rules of an ancient prophecy。 But there is no escaping what comes next。
The air will be infected by demons， appearing in all sorts of hideous forms。
A brilliant flash of light fills the sky， leaving Miah changed and an Old Norse death rune etched onto his forehead。 He fears he has been marked for death until the neighborhood's parents start disappearing and he's left behind。 Leading Jen and a ragtag group of parentless kids， Miah hunts for answers and for their parents while trying to keep his sister safe。 He charges headlong down a path that will take him to the gates of Hell。。。and then straight through。
All of Hell will be let loose。
The Dark is a mind-bending， character-driven sci-fi-infused horror novel like no other。

This turned out to be a very good book。I was not sure I would like it because of the premise of the 3 days of darkness prophecy。 But， of course the author put his own twist on the subject making it very interesting。 You felt all of Miah’s feelings and stress throughout the book， and once I knew the author put part of his emotions into the story I really appreciated it。 I do not want to reveal too much about the book， but I automatically wanted to read another book by the same author。The end make This turned out to be a very good book。I was not sure I would like it because of the premise of the 3 days of darkness prophecy。 But， of course the author put his own twist on the subject making it very interesting。 You felt all of Miah’s feelings and stress throughout the book， and once I knew the author put part of his emotions into the story I really appreciated it。 I do not want to reveal too much about the book， but I automatically wanted to read another book by the same author。The end makes you want to find out if anything else happens to Miah and would there be a sequel。 。。。more

WowIt’s pretty F’ing awesome。 This author mixes everything I like into one story with perfection。 This one begs for a sequel。 Religion/legend （I know， redundant lol）/sci-fi/horror/relationships。 It’s all there。 I haven’t followed an author this closely since Stephen King。 Always waiting for the next book。 You won’t be sorry。 Rock on！

Miah Gray is suffering after returning from the army， he lives a solitary life in his parents home， until the darkness arrives。 He is then thrown into the deep end trying to keep his family and neighbours alive。 A strange start and didn't think it was for me， but then you just keep reading and you find yourself engrossed and wanting one more page。 Miah Gray is suffering after returning from the army， he lives a solitary life in his parents home， until the darkness arrives。 He is then thrown into the deep end trying to keep his family and neighbours alive。 A strange start and didn't think it was for me， but then you just keep reading and you find yourself engrossed and wanting one more page。 。。。more

Best book of 2021This book has more twists and turns than a Rollercoaster。 If you are in the mood for suspense， laugh-out-loud moments， and horror then this is the book for you。 Jeremy Robinson is a master of thrills and fun。

A Mix of Everything That Hits HomeI’m a huge fan of Robinson’s work。 This has to be one of my favorite。 Some Horror， Sci-Fi， Comedy， and some real moments that speak to anyone whose experienced some dark times。 Yes， it was even moving！ Great Characters， timing， and plot twits that I didn’t see coming… which made it a lot fun but even helped me see a little more light in darkness we touch。 And the epilogue… wow！

Another great read by Jeremy Robinson！ The Dark grabbed me from the start and kept on going， faster and faster as the story progressed。 Likeable characters， humour， creepy creatures - with a surprising twist and all out adrenaline action that kept me reading furiously。 It's a fun， creepy， nerve-wracking， action packed read。 All one would expect from a Jeremy Robinson book - and Jeremy never disappoints！ Another great read by Jeremy Robinson！ The Dark grabbed me from the start and kept on going， faster and faster as the story progressed。 Likeable characters， humour， creepy creatures - with a surprising twist and all out adrenaline action that kept me reading furiously。 It's a fun， creepy， nerve-wracking， action packed read。 All one would expect from a Jeremy Robinson book - and Jeremy never disappoints！ 。。。more

I love this author’s work Always just waiting for his next one。 No one does endings like Jeremy Robinson。 Always resolves the story nicely while leaving a hint of the future and tying together his multiverse as an interconnected one。 I’d say， keep it up， but I have no doubt that you will。

Fun， Crazy and Scary！I thoroughly enjoy well written and believeable Apocalyptic Heaven and Hell books 。。。 which The Dark delivered。What really made this book resonate with me was the effect demons of mental pain had on the main character。Funny， scary， somewhat crazy and definitely fast-paced， I know I will read The Dark again。。。maybe when Autumn comes。

It is a sign of great skill when a writer can make you laugh while reading some of the most horrific things you’ve ever read。 A tale of redemption and realising who you are， the protagonist of this story encompasses the title of “hero” in so many senses of the word， as unlikely as that seems from the start。 The Dark is sci-fi horror at its creepiest and cleverest and will stand as one of Jeremy Robinson’s best works。 The cameos at the end were awesome and， while not a cliffhanger （the story has It is a sign of great skill when a writer can make you laugh while reading some of the most horrific things you’ve ever read。 A tale of redemption and realising who you are， the protagonist of this story encompasses the title of “hero” in so many senses of the word， as unlikely as that seems from the start。 The Dark is sci-fi horror at its creepiest and cleverest and will stand as one of Jeremy Robinson’s best works。 The cameos at the end were awesome and， while not a cliffhanger （the story has a satisfying ending - read into that what you will）， I look forward to where these characters may be taking us。 。。。more

I listened to the book on audible during 2 nights shifts， and it had me hooked！ The characters are great。 I liked Miah a lot， and Brie too。 The setup was great， and the way the story started to unfold。 I let the descriptive writing fuel my imagination， and the demons looked oh so good。 I really enjoyed this book， and it’s the first I’ve ever read from Jeremy Robinson。 It won’t be the last。

The DarkI can hardly believe it can be possible to write so many fantastic books - but the proof is in the pudding， so to speak！ Another great read by Jeremy Robinson！

As a fan of what Robinson used to to write， I really wish I could say I liked The Dark。 And as someone who wants to support Robinson as an indie author， I really wish I could give this one at least a 3 star review， but in all honesty， I just can’t do it。The Dark could have been a return to Robinson form。 It started out dark and kept the tension going。 It had the hallmarks of Robinson with some interesting creature designs and some moments that felt like a better Birdbox or Keene’s Darkness On th As a fan of what Robinson used to to write， I really wish I could say I liked The Dark。 And as someone who wants to support Robinson as an indie author， I really wish I could give this one at least a 3 star review， but in all honesty， I just can’t do it。The Dark could have been a return to Robinson form。 It started out dark and kept the tension going。 It had the hallmarks of Robinson with some interesting creature designs and some moments that felt like a better Birdbox or Keene’s Darkness On the Edge of Town。 The plot had potential to be like Koontz’s The Taking， but without the typical Koontz grandstanding BS or even a retelling/retooling of Robinson’s own Torment （a novel I also didn’t like）。 Basically Robinson could have made this really good。But alas， The Dark does the new Robinson thing of starting out great only to crash and burn about halfway through。 Yes， the first half of this book is actually good。 Robinson creates a truly creepy setting and shows that， sticking strictly with horror， he can tell a good story。Unfortunately， once things start to be explained and the plot races towards its apex， things get weird and just…dumb。 I can’t give too much away here without ruining things， so let’s just say the entire story does a weird about face， going in a truly weird direction， totally nullifying everything good this story had going for it。There’s also the ridiculously annoying Robinson penchant for trying to add humor as levity。 This is supposed to be a horror novel （well， 75% of it anyways）， so I honestly don’t understand the constant use of bad one-liners or terrible jokes。 A few jokes or light hearted banter is 100% ok by me， but hearing the main character make some awful dad joke observation about the horrific event surrounding them， just brought me out of the story way too many times。 While there is something to be said about an author not taking themselves super seriously， there’s also something to be said about writing a “horror” story that isn’t full of lame attempts at puns and modern “slang”。I could go on and on about how good Robinson was a few years back， how almost everything he wrote was an easy 5 star， best of the year story。 However， that’d be just reminiscing about the past and making the present hurt that much more。 After 4 or 5 straight novels that just failed to grab me， I wonder if this is the time I cut ties with him because I just can’t take the constant disappointment。 Robinson is way better than the author he’s become the last couple of years。 。。。more

Just pure awesomeness…。。again。 Without leaving any spoilers。。 once again the reader is taken through an action packed story， with very relatable characters。 If you’ve ever read any other books by J。R， then you will not be disappointed by this masterpiece with twists and turns。 If you just want to loose yourself in a book you wont be able to put down once started， then this is it。

My favorite genre of reading could be described as "all things dark"， so this book was an excellent read for me。 I loved the characters in this story and was especially intrigued with Miah's personal journey。 Jeremy Robinson has a way of presenting us with characters who are flawed， yet incredibly strong， and this story was no exception。 The action was non-stop， which made it impossible to put down。 My favorite genre of reading could be described as "all things dark"， so this book was an excellent read for me。 I loved the characters in this story and was especially intrigued with Miah's personal journey。 Jeremy Robinson has a way of presenting us with characters who are flawed， yet incredibly strong， and this story was no exception。 The action was non-stop， which made it impossible to put down。 。。。more

Fantastic！This is a fun horror novel by Jeremy Robinson。 It is a great read and another one knocked out of the park by this efficient machine of an author。 Don’t miss it！ I strongly suggest the audiobook as well， narrated by R。C。 Bray。

A great fast paced read by Jeremy Robinson。 Are demons real or are they really aliens？ Follow Miah and his small band of survivors as they try to find out who or what has attacked their part of the world。 I hope there is a sequel！

Sometimes you just need a well written， entertaining， creepy read and The Dark by Jeremy Robinson delivers on all fronts。 It’s been a while since I’ve listened to a ten hour book in a day， but once I started this book， I was captivated and couldn’t put it down。 It has the usual JR blend of action， suspense， and humour…not to mention creepiness。 This book will leave you feeling like you’ve just been on a wide ride but rather than needing a break， you want to dive back in and do it all over again。 Sometimes you just need a well written， entertaining， creepy read and The Dark by Jeremy Robinson delivers on all fronts。 It’s been a while since I’ve listened to a ten hour book in a day， but once I started this book， I was captivated and couldn’t put it down。 It has the usual JR blend of action， suspense， and humour…not to mention creepiness。 This book will leave you feeling like you’ve just been on a wide ride but rather than needing a break， you want to dive back in and do it all over again。 I loved the little parallels to the state of the world for the past year and for those suffering with chronic illnesses。 Not to mention the pop culture references and Easter eggs for Jeremy’s other books。 （Must go listen to Tribe now）RC Bray was perfect for this story。 He does creepy so well。 He gives each character their own unique voice and each scene it’s own tone that works perfectly for what is happening。 The bloopers at the end were a brilliant addition。 Production was great with no issues。 。。。more
