Publisher's summary
"It stalks you. It whispers. It wants you to turn around. It wants you to look. But if you do... If you see it..."
Talmouth is a lonely seaside town. No-one has heard from it for days. No-one who goes in comes out. Something has happened to Talmouth. Has it been taken over by aliens? Or is it something far, far worse?
Gwen Cooper's come to Talmouth to find out. What's happened has to be seen to be believed. But by the time you've seen it, you're already dead.
Plot
After seeing a video of two people dying in Talmouth, Gwen goes to investigate the deserted town and catches a glimpse of the Darkness out of the corner of her; if she sees it two more times, it says, she will die. She meets James, a homeless man who explains that the Darkness has killed almost the entire town in only three days, but he runs away when he hears the Darkness's voice and dies when he sees it for the third time. Gwen catches her second glimpse as the Darkness feeds on James, needing to see what it was doing to him, and then goes looking for other survivors.
Gwen meets Mrs Rhodes, who is unaware of the situation in Talmouth because of her blindness, at Barchester Rest and runs away with her when she detects the Darkness with her superior hearing. They flee to the beach when the fog thickens and cars start driving themselves at them, although Mrs Rhodes points out that she was safe anyway given her blindness, and they walk for an hour as the beach seems to stretch.
