Night Has Fallen in the wild, but from the darkness a hero shall emerge.

Night has Fallen is the debut novel from acclaimed screenwriter and graphic novelist Shawn Parker. The book is available now online in an exclusive signed and numbered edition and officially scheduled for release to stores on April 15th, 2008.

Night Has Fallen is the story of four lifelong friends steered into adulthood by the impending marriage of their most reluctant member. As a grand farewell to their youth, the boys, now in their late 20s, plot an adventure to the furthest reaches of the Canadian north—with no prior knowledge of what it means to test the natural and savage elements of the world.

They descend on the wilderness with all the naivety and brazen disregard for safety that young men are disposed to. They are ill prepared, but it does not matter, for they are in search of adventure—a final voyage together, one for all time. In one horrifying moment the adventure becomes a struggle for survival. The rugged Canadian wild and the treacherous whitewater that cuts sharp swathes across the terrain will be their final playground, if they allow it. They have nothing to defend themselves against the wilds but a pistol and a can of bear repellent that may or may not contain hairspray. But they will survive. For that, all they need is each other. Night Has Fallen is the intensely affecting tale of a journey. It is an exploration of loss, betrayal, courage and friendship and a reflection on what man is capable of when he is faced with insurmountable odds: wanton destruction, incomparable compassion and unrivaled heroism.

Published by Horizon Park Media and printed in Canada, Night Has Fallen will be available in fine bookstores everywhere in April and can be ordered online now at www.horizonparkmedia.com.

Shawn Parker is the author of more than a dozen screenplays. WIRELESS, a terse political thriller produced by Dog Gone Mad Productions, will be in theatres in 2009. The first original graphic novel from Horizon Park, The Pegasus Illusion, written by Parker and illustrated by Des Taylor, debuts at New York Comic Con 2008. Parker’s second novel, I Am Overcome, is being released by Horizon Park in the fall of 2008.
