In The Winter Dark is a 1988 novel by award-winning author Tim Winton.

Night falls. In a lonely valley called the Sink, four people prepare for a quiet evening. Then in his orchard, Murray Jaccob sees a moving shadow. Across the swamp, his neighbour Ronnie watches her lover leave and feels her baby roll inside her. And on the verandah of the Stubbses' house, a small dog is torn screaming from its leash by something unseen. Nothing will be the same again.

(from the dust jacket)

A very short novel, the 1988 hardback edition is approximately Penguin paperback sized and runs to 132 well-spaced pages.

A part of the novel in an earlier stage of evolution appeared in Antipodes (Journal).[1]
