by Cullen Bunn (Author)
New York Times bestselling comics creator Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Empty Man) delivers a chilling small-town horror novel in the tradition of Stephen King--where a brutal double homicide in an isolated mid-Atlantic community awakens an ancient force and unleashes a living nightmare.
For so many, this is the last week on earth. A young woman plagued by surreal and harrowing nightmares whose immediate and distant futures are at a crossroads...a mysterious derelict who possesses knowledge beyond that of human understanding...a hard-edged sheriff who just may be in over his head this time...a local drug-dealing outcast whose role-playing fantasy aspirations are about to become all too real...These are only a few of the residents of Wilson Island, North Carolina, all of whose lives are about to converge and explode as a brutal masked killer and their heinous, seemingly ritualistic acts are shockingly exposed. For these atrocities are merely a grim portent of a terrifying, all-consuming evil about to descend upon this sleepy mid-Atlantic burg--a horrific force as ancient and cold as the stars themselves....Author Biography
