The blizzard begins pummeling the Midwest on Christmas Eve, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded at Chicago&’s O&’Hare International Airport. Todd Curry doesn&’t need another reason to disappoint his son, so he joins three other people in renting the last four-wheel drive available and they set out into the blinding snow.

Though his odd demeanor and ripped clothes make Todd and his group uneasy, they agree to take the man to the nearest town—if the now-damaged car can make it. What awaits them at the next exit, however, is nothing they could have imagined. Around an empty town square, fires burn, cars are abandoned, storefronts are smashed. And there is no one to be seen—for now . . .

È una delle nuove voci più fresche del genere, anche se la sua carriera copre vent’anni. Scrivendo con una baldanza e una fiducia rare, Steve Vernon sa guidare il lettore attraverso un’intera gamma di emozioni, da paura e repulsione fino a pietà e risate." – Cemetery Dance "Armato di un bizzarro senso dello humour, un mucchio di originalità, un talento per il rischio e una forte abilità di caratterizzazione – Steve ha di sicuro un talento." - Dark Discoveries "Steve Vernon è nato per scrivere. È un vero scrittore e siamo fortunati ad averlo." – Richard Chizmar Anche mia madre pensa che io sia piuttosto forte.
