The sun went out when Caleb Thorne was six years old.

He doesn't remember it. Nobody does. What he remembers is Halcyon: a small town too perfect to be believed, under a sky that doesn't go all the way up. And dreams - trenches, paper routes, rooftops in the rain - lives he's never lived, screaming a name that isn't his.

Every time he gets close to the truth, the dreams stop. Because his father is erasing them.

Underneath Halcyon, down stairs that go deeper than the building is tall, something is keeping the world running. And as Caleb digs toward what really happened to the sun - and to his missing mother, and to himself - he finds the question at the bottom of everything: when the dead are finally brought back, who gets to come? What if some of the people he loves were never alive to begin with?

The Midnight Library meets Dark Matter - the story of the murder of God, and what we owe the dead, the living, and the made.
