Night of the Comet

Christian Francis

The official novelization of the 1984 cult classic, written and directed by Thom Eberhardt. This novel delivers the film’s signature blend of sci-fi horror, action, and razor-sharp humor.


The apocalypse has never been this much fun.

The world was supposed to celebrate a celestial event. Instead, disaster struck. When the comet passed, billions vanished overnight, leaving behind only red dust and abandoned cities.

Teen sisters Regina and Samantha Belmont wake up to an empty Los Angeles. At first, it seems like paradise… no school, no parents, and an entire city to themselves. But something doesn’t feel right. Everything has gone silent. The streets are still. And the deeper they look, the more unsettling the truth becomes.

As they search the city and make sense of what happened, they soon discover that they are not alone. Some people had escaped the comet’s glae, but not all of them are friendly. Survival will take more than luck—it will take strategy, willing and a whole lot of firepower.
