A Dark Sequel Shadows Bright Falls
A string of ritualistic murders threatens Bright Falls, a small-town community surrounded by the misty Pacific Northwest wilderness. FBI agent Saga Anderson, known for cracking impossible cases, is called in to investigate. But her search for answers quickly spirals into a waking nightmare when pages from a horror story begin manifesting in the real world—turning fiction into terrifying reality.
