Overview

New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award–nominated comics writer Cullen Bunn presents his adult novel debut—a high-stakes hunt for a masked killer whose brutal murders may be a portent of an evil as ancient and cold as the stars themselves. The bodies are stacking up on Wilson Island. The town’s sheriff has his suspicions but no genuine evidence for an arrest, even as the murders continue and appear increasingly ritualistic in nature. And when an arrest is finally made, all hell breaks loose—literally—as a terrifying horror rises to envelop the town. Soon it’s all up to an unforgettable and motley group of residents to band together and eliminate an ancient evil in a desperate struggle for survival.

“Cinematic, visceral, and epic…Featuring a huge cast of characters, an episodic and brisk storytelling style, and solid character development, this is horror filled with terror, gore, and a high body count, but it also packs plenty of heart. Bunn…seamlessly transitions to prose with this tale that's reminiscent of classic Stephen King yet wholly original.” —Library Journal “Cinematic, visceral, and epic…Featuring a huge cast of characters, an episodic and brisk storytelling style, and solid character development, this is horror filled with terror, gore, and a high body count, but it also packs plenty of heart.
