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
FictionFreak,
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。
Genette Entenman,
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!

Readers Together,
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
Leanne,
Love Jeremy RobinsonI love reading Jeremy’s books。 There are twists and turns, and even when I think I know how the story is going to go, most time I’m glad to be wrong。
Harmoni,
A book to keep you up!!!Well, he's done it again!!! Do you ever feel like an author write just for you? Well that's how I feel about the wonderful collections that are the universe that is Jeremy。 Every book, and short story really resonates with me, and this book even more so! From the very beginning to the very end I was in the edge of my seat。 I spent a whole day and into the wee hours reading this book。 It is truly a pleasure to read each and every one of Robinson's books。 I promise you will A book to keep you up!!!Well, he's done it again!!!

Bruce Carmany,
WowAll I can say is wow! The twists, the concepts, everything tie in together amazingly and Miah is such a relatable and fleshed-out character, his weird quirks and inner monolog goes so well with the story。 Keep them coming Jeremy, we love them!
Leilani,
This book was so good!I didn't know what to expect when I got this book but OMG my mind is blown! Once again J。R。 hit the ball out of the park。 I couldn't put this book down and just got the audiobook because now I want to hear RC Bray read it to me。 I'm not one to write book reports on the books that I have read so I'll just say that this book went places I didn't expect and I still can't stop thinking about it。 If you're on the fence, just go for it! This is definitely one of my favorites。 Goo This book was so good!I didn't know what to expect when I got this book but OMG my mind is blown!

todd,
Wow! Wow! Wow!I guess you could say I loved the book。 Wasn’t what I expected at all and is typically not the type of book I’d pick up to read。 Being a big fan of Jeremy’s other novels I thought I’d give it a try。 I’m so glad I did, though now it means I need to go read his other novels that I haven’t read yet。 I hope there is a follow up to this book and loved the way he tied it in at the end to another book of his that I had to go read after this one。
Frank Ferris,
When you start to think he has brought me everywhere and then this book comes out。 WOW!! I usually read his books pretty fast because I have to sleep sometime and don't want to put his book down。 This one I lost sleep over and loved it!!!!! I absolutely had to finish it as fast as I could。 Loved every minute of it!!! When you start to think he has brought me everywhere and then this book comes out。 WOW!!

The Master Turns To Horror。 With this book, Jeremy Robinson – The Modern Day Master of Science Fiction – again attempts a horror book… before bringing it back to the scifi action that is his bread and butter。 He first establishes a loveable galoof of an anti-hero: an Army veteran who has PTSD from his experiences in Afghanistan who can’t quite fit in with his suburban civilian “normal” life。 Then, he begins building in the mystery and the horror, slowly ramping it up to truly horrific levels acr The Master Turns To Horror。 With this book, Jeremy Robinson – The Modern Day Master of Science Fiction – again attempts a horror book… before bringing it back to the scifi action that is his bread and butter。 He first establishes a loveable galoof of an anti-hero: an Army veteran who has PTSD from his experiences in Afghanistan who can’t quite fit in with his suburban civilian “normal” life。 Then, he begins building in the mystery and the horror, slowly ramping it up to truly horrific levels across several different types of horror, finally culminating in a truly utterly horrific sequence that, arguably, hard core fans of Mass Effect who are familiar with Mass Effect 2 in particular may be at least somewhat jaded to。 And then, the actual scifi action conclusion – almost as though Robinson has made us see hell, and now wants to leave us on a more interesting/ happier note。 Long time fans of Robinson may see at least a few similarities to his 2010 “Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God” retelling, TORMENT, though for me that particular book was so horrific *because* it was essentially a modern day version of that famous sermon (which was, in itself, essentially a then-modern retelling of Dante’s Inferno)。 For those like me who literally had nightmares for *years* after reading that book, I can tell you that this one isn’t anywhere near that bad – at least not in the same ways。 It truly is utterly horrific in a couple of sequences in particular, and these new horrors may indeed haunt your nightmares for quite some time。 But dammit, that is what makes Robinson the Master。 😉 Very much recommended。 。。。more

Happy Publish day! Jeremy Robinson’s “The Dark” has quickly become one of my favorites from the author。 What I liked: Miah。 PeriodT! I loved that he isn’t your advantage hero。 He is a hot mess, unique, odd, and extremely vulnerable during the entire story…even before the “ish” hits the fan。 Bree。 She isn’t a typical 7-year-old。 As a mother of a 6-year-old, I can tell you that my daughter would have met her end during the introduction credits。 Lol。 However, Bree is almost scary in her ability to Happy Publish day!
