Clarke’s ability to create Splatterfolk is unmatched. He mixes Native American folklore with cosmic horror and creates a story that you can’t put down. Bella is both woman and creature. She’s is sexy to the point of madness and looking to suck the soul right out of every man and woman alive.
Clarke ties the very real blizzard of 1993 in New York with his setting for Bella's Boys. The claustrophobic feeling of the cold snow makes a local dive bar seem like an oasis. The warmth of a woman, a rock and roll goddess to be exact, makes Corey feel satiated at the most barren time of the year. Corey is lured into a sense of safety when everything in the setting says there is danger lurking in the unbreathable air. When the truth of Bella's existence is revealed, it is too late to turn back and too cold to go home.
I can’t think of a better book to curl up with on a cold, stormy night.
