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.
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.
