Jessica asked this question about Home Before Dark:
Just finished this and thought it was great, but what's up with the title? What am I missing? I don't remember seeing it in the text and I can't figure out what its significance is.

More thematically, though, I related it to the general idea of mothers telling their kids to play outside but to be sure to be home before dark. The idea behind that statement, of course, being that after dark is when the really bad stuff goes down. Coming home before the dark truly settles in. It's not my favorite title but I do think it makes sense.(less)
