Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Fade is a novel written by Franco-American horror novelist Robert Cormier, and was published in 1988. It tells the story of Paul Moreaux, a teenager in 1938 who has recently discovered he has the power to turn invisible at will, a power he calls "The Fade". Despite the cautions of his uncle Adélard, also a Fader, Paul puts his power to use eavesdropping. This power ends up bringing more trouble than he bargained for, as he witnesses horrible truth after horrible truth.

comment
Attempted Rape: At one point, Omer makes a younger boy go down on his knees in front of him, with the clear intent of forcing him into performing fellatio. The reason it becomes an attempted rape is because Paul punched Omar while using the Fade, giving the would-be victim a chance to escape.
