Bones of Our Stars, Blood of Our World: A Novel of Terror

By Cullen Bunn

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....

Novel I've Been Waiting For

I'm a longtime Bunn reader. His comics have been terrifying and enlightening. One of my prized possessions is his book of short stories called A Passage In Black. Bunn in text is more exciting than in color. He draws worlds in his prose that are exciting. Bones Of Our Stars, Blood Of Our World is a wonderous, scary journey filled with red herrings and fleshed out characters. There is a wonderful chapter in Stephen King's Salem's Lot where he describes the town and the characters from sunrise to sunset. The first 200 pages of this novel do the same. You get to meet the characters and understand their roles and lives. You are drawn in before the killing stars. The book is wonderfully Lovecraftian.
