The Sound by Stan Grimes

The citizens of this world have many reasons to believe that the planet upon which they live will someday self-destruct, but what if they're reasons are wrong. What if global warming doesn't destroy us? What if a worldwide war for fossil fuels doesn't destroy us? Perhaps the destruction of the world is planned by an enemy much more sinister than the ones of which we are aware, an enemy from beyond.

The Sound is about such an enemy, an enemy planning on using the inhabitants of Earth as sustenance for survival of their strange race. Larson and Josie Bash discover their hometown in the Yukon is overrun with these bizarre creatures. They escape their homeland only to find their life would change forever.
