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. 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. Bunn crafts a story that tests the bounds of human connection in the face of a shocking bloodbath.
Super 8 meets It as the residents of a small beach town abandon long held judgements of each other to survive. A bitter sheriff must grit his teeth and accept help from the island mob boss, while a D&D Master, the crew of an overworked extermination company, a tenacious local journalist, and a group of high school seniors looking forward to graduation and the rest of their lives, race to piece together the identity of the illusive killer. At once cinematic, gory, and full of heart—albeit a bloody heart ripped out from someone’s chest— Bunn showcases the swiftness with which an entire town can be brought to its knees by the most unexpected of evil forces…
Bones of Our Stars, Blood of Our World debuts next month.
