Trapped in a bar by the biggest snowstorm in over a century, Ben
Clary will soon learn that sometimes the worst monsters are the human
ones.
Ben Clary is an
everyday workingman who caps off an afternoon of holiday shopping with a drink at his favorite watering hole. Before long, he is intoxicated,
and a brutal winter storm descends, trapping him and his fellow bar
patrons. Being trapped by a storm is bad enough; finding out something
terrible and deadly lurks in the blizzard outside is far worse.
One by one, unseen assailants pick off the patrons until a local historian
claims the attackers may be the remnants of a clan caught up in an
ancient blood feud, said to have occurred at the site of the tavern.
And, worse, they eat human flesh.
Before long Ben learns the
cannibal clansmen are the least of his worries—the true monsters are way more terrifying... and closer to home.
"Icily impressive." — David Sakmyster, author of Escape Plans
"The menace is revealed in all its blood-crazed glory very early in
proceedings... after a spate of initial deaths...things settle right
down and the story becomes far more about the lengths people will go to
save their own skin and that of their loved ones, regardless of the
cost." — Paul @ Horror After Dark
