  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.

  The Enormous Word - Crushed by...

  The Enormous Word by William Oberfield - The blue men had ravaged Terra and reduced Winston Eberly to a contemptible insect. Now here he was, complaining of indigestion! 
  Hurry! Hurry! Run as fast as you can go to the big tree! Crouch beneath its branches and hide, staring up through its open spaces to see if anything is glinting in the clear sky. Anything there? Oh God, yes! No, it's only a bird, a small cloud drifting. Now! Dash madly, crawl on your belly, fight on to the next place of concealment! 
  Winston Eberly knew he was talking to himself, but he didn't give a damn. He was sweating and sick from exertion, half mad with burning thirst and bleeding from an unknown number of cuts and scratches, but that didn't matter either. The only thing that had any real meaning or value was the stuff in the box in his pocket. 
  He slapped the pocket with a dirt-encrusted hand. "Good old box! Good old U-235!" he mumbled feverishly. "You'll pull us out of this mess we're in. You'll show the blasted men from space they're not playing with children!" 
  Pausing in shadows he looked again at the sky. All blue and quiet. Nothing stirring up there, nothing glinting. But they were there all right; they were always there. Maybe they were in the stratosphere, maybe above it, or about to streak low across the sky from horizon to horizon in the twinkling of an eye. 
  Men from space. Hateful, sadistic, repulsive men from outer space! Oh, how overbearing they were; how greedy and cruel and how sure of themselves! They had reason to be confident, of course. They had simply stood far off in space and shrouded the entire world in a terrible radiation that brought unconsciousness to all and death to many. And something in that radiation had sought out every particle of refined Uranium and Hiroshimaized the world.

  In the beginning, humanity did not understand what was about to happen. The clouds on the horizon took on vibrant colors that touched every shade of blue. No one wondered why those steel-colored cumulonimbus clouds existed; humans were too busy to stop and look at the sky. Wars continued, the number of victims increased,pollution grew, but thesmoke from the chimneys showed no sign of ending. And meanwhile, the clouds moved undisturbed, sowing death and madness in their path. It all started (or, more properly, ended) like this. 
    
  In 'When All Was Lost,' an apocalyptic mystery unfolds through the eyes of Gregorio, Beatrice, and Angelo, thrust into darkness as the world edges toward oblivion. Amidst skies that spell doom and a silence that drowns out hope, their journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Navigating through the remnants of a crumbling society, they face enigmatic threats and form unlikely alliances. This tale delves deep into the mysteries of survival, unity, and the indomitable will to endure in the face of the unfathomable. As they confront the unknown, the true challenge lies not in the shadows that stalk them but in the light they seek to find within.
