Crimson Sky by C.J. Connolly

The grid is dead. The phones are dark. And a father is walking home through a collapsing city to a family that doesn’t know if he’s alive.

Tuesday morning. Bacon burning. Three kids late for school. By noon the power is out, the phones are dead, and Declan Calloway is walking through a town coming apart one block at a time — toward the school where his wife and children are waiting.

This isn’t an apocalypse of soldiers and preppers. It’s an apocalypse of neighbors. The ones who rise. The ones who don’t. Thirty days that decide who a person really is.

Dark enough to feel real. Warm enough to live in.

For readers of Kyla Stone’s Edge of Collapse, One Second After, and The Road.

Book One of The World It Left. The collapse is only the beginning.
