Description

After Nightfall

After the world ended, the night learned how to hunt.

The Carter family survived by following one rule above all others: never be outside after dark.

In the wilderness beyond abandoned roads and forgotten towns, something moves at night—listening, learning, waiting. By day, the Carters hunt, fortify, and prepare. By dusk, they lock themselves in and stay silent, knowing that one mistake can draw attention they won't survive.

When illness weakens the family's foundation and neighbors begin to disappear, survival stops being about holding on—and becomes a question of when to leave. As alliances form and rules begin to bend, the darkness grows bolder, adapting to every change the survivors make.

Forced to abandon the only safety they've ever known, the Carters discover a truth more terrifying than the creatures that stalk the dark:

The night doesn't punish mistakes.
It learns from them.

After Nightfall is a slow-burn post-apocalyptic survival horror novel about family, silence, and adaptation—where the most dangerous thing isn't what hunts in the dark, but what waits for you to change.
