The Long Dark: The Alien and the Creature of Darkness

Tom Holden is perfectly content with his laid-back lifestyle. Living in his cabin in the quiet solitude of the Minnesotan wilderness, his fishing pole, his coffee, and Thor-his fun-loving, carefree Labrador-are all he needs for an idyllic day. But his picturesque existence is shattered as irreparably as the ground around him as the earth quakes, rocks fall, geysers erupt, and the sky darkens. Nothing could have prepared him for the end of the world.

His naturally catastrophic brush with mortality finds Tom in mixed company as he meets the alluring and beautiful Ilse Gustavson, her overbearing and critical parents, and his aloof, eccentric neighbor, Baldy. As the days slowly pass, tensions grow higher and tempers run amok. Each survivor is faced with terrifying questions: How long will this last? Will I ever get to go home? Are we the last ones alive? This unlikely family must endure close quarters and conflicts of personality in order to survive these trying times...but someone is keeping a secret that's out of this world.

Seemingly impossible circumstances and miracles suddenly become commonplace. With no logical explanations for these events, the ragtag crew can only start to wonder if they might share their makeshift home with someone-or something-else. Join Tom on his journey to discover the answers to these questions and survive in a world forever changed. Experience the joys of new relationships kindled, the trials of survival, and the mystery of the unknown as you enter...The Long Dark
