At First, You Hear The Silence by Mark Fuller Dillon
At thirteen, Philippe can see his father trapped in a world of secrets and silence, a world with no place for honesty or courage. But when the walls of that world fall apart, and something from outside breaks in, the silence becomes a warning shout… and Philippe will be tested in ways his father could never imagine. This is a dark modern fantasy, suitable for Young Adult to Adult readers.
“An enthralling encounter with mysteries from beyond… tearing at the veil between worlds one minute, scratching at our very windows the next. Filled with breathless suspense and cosmic strangeness, it’s a story sure to put the reader in the shoes of the sharply-drawn young protagonist, as his human strengths are put to the test.”
— Jeffrey Thomas, author of PUNKTOWN.
“A new twist on what used to be called science fantasy, it strikes a great balance between horror, sf, and action writing. This is a modern, intelligent story with its roots firmly in the Golden Age pulp tradition.”
— David Longhorn, editor of SUPERNATURAL TALES.
“I read ‘At First, You Hear The Silence’ three times; first as a reader, second as a writer, and the third time as an admittedly envious writer.”
— Jason E. Rolfe, author of THE PUPPET-PLAY OF DOCTOR GALL.
“‘At First, You Hear the Silence’ is a fast-moving, compelling read which contains the best that horror, fantasy and science fiction have to offer. Mark Fuller Dillon’s writing constantly evolves. His prose is both expertly crafted and precise, deftly creating an atmosphere of unease and, ultimately, dread.”
— Martin Cosby, author of THE TRAINS DON’T STOP HERE.
