Publisher Description
They come in with the snow. They are the snow . . .
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.
Only two hours into the treacherous trip west, Todd swerves to avoid a man in the middle of the highway. The stranger claims his daughter is lost somewhere out in the 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 . . .
But soon the shadows lurking on the edges of their vision will step into the light, and Todd and his fellow travelers will find themselves facing a sharp-scythed evil shaped from the snow, tearing its way into human form—and taking the neighborhood by storm.

"This book put me in mind of Koontz's WINTER MOON--that same icy isolated dread. Malfi knows how to weave a spell-binding horror tale that both enthralls and satisfies."
— Stony (5 out of 5 stars)

" This was the first novel that I have read by Ronald Malfi. For the most part, I was impressed with his writing. This was a good book, no question. I thought that the opening sequence was amazing and did a great job of drawing in the reader. The middle section falters a bit and fails to match the great opening. The ending is good. This novel felt like a bit of a pastiche, like Malfi was threading together many different modern horror cliches and adding a little bit of his own new flavor to the mix. Seen in that context, its a fine read, just don't expect it to completely blow your head off your shoulders. A decent page turner, no more, no less. I look forward to reading more Malfi in the future. "

" I must have absolutely no attention span anymore. Lately every book I read has not held my interest and Snow is no exception. I gave up on page 81 because I was bored. I'm sorry but 80 pages into a horror novel something scary should have happened! "
— Michele, 1/6/2014 -
" This book kind of reminds me of John Saul -- whose books I just love! Its a very good story and fast paced. I thoroughly enjoyed it. "

" Interesting, easy reading, mostly horror somewhat sci-fi story. I did enjoy the story not creepy enough to give 5 stars. "
— Sheila, 1/12/2013 -
" I did enjoy this book but there are some things I just didn't like. It was fresh and new. I hadn't heard of creatures like these so, props for this! "

" Eerie and unsettling. I may never look at snow the same way again. "
— Michelle, 9/23/2012 -
" Started off good, but failed to meet expectations. "
— Spencer, 7/17/2012 -
" An interesting idea but the story drags on and the characters are too plain. I found myself wishing the book would end about half way through. "
