Publisher's summary

It has been ten years since the Merging, since the Woods began taking over the world, since ghosts returned to haunt their loved ones. Liz Raleigh has hidden in the New England wilderness with Hank, his daughter, Evie, and their small group, trying to eke out a small but normal life. Though Liz longs to forget the time she spent attached to her best friend and lover, Brody's ghost, she finds herself pursued by a shadow of his former self and dreams of a life they could have lived together had he not died.

The Woods and the wolves that live inside them continue to threaten the group's existence, looming closer every day. Liz feels drawn to them, to the feeling that deep inside the trees is a way to end the reign the Woods have over the world. What's worse is that they seem different inside, darker and emptier than when she visited them years before.

Hope comes in the discovery of a self-sustained community, Onyx River: a place run by wind and solar power where other colonies have supposedly fled to with the opportunity to live life the way they used to. Upon arrival, however, they find the place abandoned and, after tragedy strikes, they realize this place might not be as promising as they once believed.

Both Liz and Evie will face not only their worst fears but the ones they couldn't even imagine were lurking in the woodland oblivion.

Dark and immersive

Award-winning SAG-AFTRA actress and talented audiobook narrator Lisa Roumain returns to Katherine Silva’s The Wild Oblivion series of award-winning horror paranormal novels, delivering another mesmerizing performance in the second audiobook, The Wild Fall.

The story picks up with main character Liz Raleigh, her family, and friends, ten years after the Merging, as the Woods continue to take over the world, and ghosts return to haunt their loved ones – events portrayed in The Wild Dark. Having thoroughly enjoyed the first audiobook in the series last year, I eagerly continued these adventures when offered the opportunity.

Without spoiling any of the plot, I can tell you that in The Wild Fall, Liz and the others strive to survive the new normal. When they hear of a self-sustained community running on wind and solar power, they journey there only to find that everything is not as it seems, and their problems persist.

The writing is immersive and engaging, the plot captivating, and the characters well-drawn and multifaceted. Lisa Roumain once again excels in bringing these characters and their story to life with her talent, passion, and professionalism. Her performance perfectly captures the scope and feel of these narratives, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next adventure in this dark world.

If you’re seeking a gripping and suspenseful story that skillfully combines horror, romance, action, and adventure with paranormal elements, I highly recommend both The Wild Fall and The Wild Dark by the extremely talented horror author from Maine, Katherine Silva.

This series has received multiple awards, and they are truly well-deserved! I dare to say that the audiobooks are even better as Lisa Roumain brings her significant skills to the recording booth and thus creates an even more immersive experience for the listeners.
