What Swallows the Light Alien Horror Novellas
By John Durgin
First published 2025
Working Thanksgiving was supposed to be an escape for Carrie Richardson-a shift at Sinclair Pharmaceuticals meant avoiding her abusive boyfriend. But when the sky darkens and the office goes silent, escape becomes a trap. Whispers slither through the air, colleagues freeze in eerie trances, and something hungry moves unseen in the halls. As reality unravels and terror closes in, Carrie must uncover the truth hidden within Sinclair's walls-before it suffocates her. Sometimes it looks like an accident, until you discover who is really pulling the strings. When Tess visits the man who killed her brother in a drunk driving accident, she discovers the facts were not as they appeared to be, and someone else may have been involved. Her investigation brings her down a path of horror, lies, secrets, and a mysterious figure who haunted her brother for years. An alien vessel powered by dreams. A human nightmare on board. For millennia, the Grays have visited earth, seeing humans as simple and safe. They were wrong. Aboard their living, star-spanning vessel, a forgotten horror awakens. Born of primal fear, stalking humanity since the dawn of time. Watching and waiting.
