Falling from the Sky

Falling from the Sky is an atmospheric, emotionally nuanced, and deeply human story of life after the end. More than a tale of survival, it’s a meditation on loneliness, love, and the resilience of the human heart in the face of relentless silence. Perfect for readers of The Road by Cormac McCarthy or Bird Box by Josh Malerman, this novel doesn’t rely on spectacle to deliver its impact. Instead, it seeps into your bones, page by page, reminding us that sometimes the most terrifying thing isn’t what’s out there—but what we carry within.

When I first began this tale, I did not know what to make of the 'dragons' because the author is adept at giving you enough clues to what is going on, and still gets surprised in the end. Toby is a boy living with his dad in a world where they hide like mice from a hunter they can't see. The dynamic is strange until you learn the reason why in the end. I enjoyed this story—another fine piece of writing. Well done!

This story stayed with me long after I finished it. There’s a quiet intensity to the writing that pulls you in, and a lingering sense that not everything is as it seems. It unfolds in a way that keeps you guessing, with just enough mystery to keep the pages turning. A unique read that leaves room for interpretation and reflection.
