Taker of Light, Eileen Cruz Coleman’s young adult debut, is a post-apocalyptic speculative fiction story inspired by the Brothers Grimm’s lesser-known fairytale, Godfather Death, in which Death raises a child who then betrays him.

When a deep darkness descends on Earth, sixteen-year-old Raylie must protect herself from the source of the darkness and from the aliens who are seeking to colonize Earth when their planet is destroyed.

Taker of Light is a novelette, approximately 14,500 words.

From the reviewer:

Okay, I may be a bit old to be reading a YA, but I did enjoy this.  The zombie trees, the hunger, the desolation. The author paints a very grim picture of this post-apocalypse Earth, or is it Earth? Eileen keeps you guessing all the way through the end.  –  “Whomever”
