Until The Darkness Comes

A Haunting Odyssey Through Darkness

Until The Darkness Comes by Kevin Brooks (2012, Arrow Books) sweeps you into a chilling post-apocalyptic landscape where each mile traveled can mean the difference between life and death. When Jack’s bus careens off a crumbling overpass, he stumbles into a world ravaged by unseen horrors. Armed with nothing but a fading map and the memory of one girl’s voice, he sets out into the unknown, driven by a desperate hope to find her.

Shadows on the Open Road

Brooks’ spare, urgent prose captures the eerie stillness of abandoned towns and the sudden flash of danger lurking in silent ruins. With every rattling bus skeleton and every echo down empty highways, the road tests Jack’s courage and sanity. He encounters strangers—some offering brief kindness, others concealing motives as dark as the night itself—forcing him to weigh trust against survival at every turn.

Hope in the Heart of Night

As darkness descends and shadows close in, Jack learns that bravery isn’t the absence of fear, but the choice to move forward despite it. Until The Darkness Comes is a pulse-pounding journey of resilience, reminding us that even in the deepest gloom, a single spark of determination can light the way home.
