A man and an orphan girl walk the overgrown asphalts of America, sustained by love and always in light, for in the darkness voices dwell — voices that whisper dread in their ears and their hearts, mimicking the sounds of people that once were. Yet their voices twisted and unnatural. Most of mankind has vanished. To where, they do not know. Whoever remained, their minds withered. Empty nooses creak in the winds, for even the corpses have gone. The darkness takes all. After coming upon a strange cabin in the woods, they discover a group of Scout children that have somehow endured the dark apocalypse. But the cabin carries a dark secret of its own. Delve deep into the hauntingly beautiful and terrifying world of When the Stars Disappeared, experience the tormenting echoes of the night, and find comfort in the tenderness of friendship and love — for without it, there is only darkness.
