Books by Spider Graham
Stories of survival, mystery, and ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances.
Silentfall: The Vanishing
(Book 1)
The world did not end with fire. It ended with silence.
Jasmine Lewis is making blueberry pancakes for her family in the Hudson Valley when everything changes. One moment, her husband and children are there. The next, they are gone. Not dead. Not missing in any way she can understand. Simply vanished, along with almost everyone else.
Outside, the world remains standing, but emptied. Cars sit abandoned. Phones go unanswered. Stores, schools, and homes wait for people who are no longer there. As the shock settles in, Jasmine is forced to face the first brutal questions of survival: where to find water, how long the power will last, what can still be trusted, and whether she is truly alone.
But grief may be more dangerous than hunger. Every familiar place cuts deeper. Every unanswered call becomes another loss. And every small sign of life could mean rescue, danger, or the beginning of something she is not ready to hope for.
The Vanishing is the first book in the Silentfall series: a quiet, tense, character-driven post-apocalyptic story about loss, survival, and the fragile human need to find one another after the world goes silent.
Silentfall: The Gathering
(Book 2)
The silence has broken. Now the survivors must decide what kind of world comes next.
After the vanishing, New York is no longer the city anyone knew. Power fails. Food spoils. Streets sit empty beneath dead traffic lights. The old systems are collapsing, and the few who remain must decide whether to hide, search, pray, flee, or reach for one another before isolation breaks them.
In Manhattan, a small group of neighbors begins turning fear into fragile cooperation. In Brooklyn, Lila Vance sends one last message into the dark, hoping someone is still there to hear it. In Queens, thirteen-year-old Skylar Young risks everything to be found. Farther north, others gather under very different ideas of mercy, faith, and survival.
But finding people is only the beginning. Every survivor brings grief, need, history, and danger. Some are looking for connection. Some are looking for purpose. Some are already learning how easily care can become control.
The Gathering is the second book in the Silentfall series, a character-driven post-apocalyptic story about strangers becoming a group, the first fragile bonds of a new world, and the uneasy truth that survival is no longer something anyone can do alone.
