The feeling like a buzz in your teeth. The scrape of bone on bone. . . Paul Gallo saw the report on the news: a mass murderer leading police to his victims’ graves, in remote Dread’s Hand, Alaska. It’s not even a town; more like the bad memory of a town. The same bit of wilderness where his twin brother went missing a year ago. As the bodies are exhumed, Paul travels to Alaska to get closure and put his grief to rest. But the mystery is only beginning. What Paul finds are superstitious locals who talk of the devil stealing souls, and a line of wooden crosses to keep what’s in the woods from coming out. He finds no closure because no one can explain exactly what happened to Danny. And the more he searches for answers, the more he finds himself becoming part of the mystery. . . Praise for Little Girls “Best horror novel of the year.” —Hunter Shea “Much more than a haunted house story.” — Cemetery Dance “Takes well-known tropes and completely turns them around.” —IHeartReading Review: Another top-notch story from a top-notch author! - Man, Ronald Malfi has hit it out of the park again! Things start off with a creepy opening: In the curiously-named tiny Alaskan village called Dread Hand, an old geezer named Joe Mallory shows up, claiming to have murdered 8 people and buried them in the supposedly-cursed woods. One of those people might be the twin brother of our protagonist, Paul Gallo, so he sets off for the Alaskan wilderness seeking answers for what might have happened. But he soon finds himself with far more on his hands than a missing twin, as he plumbs the depths of Dread's Hand's dark past, and learns more of the entity which has haunted the this barren land for centuries, bounded behind row after row of wooden crosses, and another strange symbol as well--a painting of an eye with a vertical slit for a pupil. The true nature of these symbols--and what really happened to Danny Gallo out there in the woods--will throw Paul into a heart-pounding struggle, and one few readers will soon forget! As always for Malfi, the writing is top-notch, subtle and understated but very compelling. The characters aren't that strong--aside from the bond between Paul and Danny, none seemed especially memorable or likable--but none are grating, which is good enough. The greatest strength is the story itself. I don't wanna spoil anyone, but if anyone here has read Mr. Malfi's other novels and novellas, like Little Girls or Skullbelly, you'll know he's a master of "slow burn" types of horror. We start with the creepy murderer guy, then jump to a bit of normalcy with an introduction to Paul Gallo, but after that, he receives some strange visions and dreams, then visits the town, and then encounters some strange sights and creepy encounters, each spookier than the last, and it's just wonderfully paced and a great buildup to a damn fine finale. Just about every book I read from Ron Malfi makes me say, "man, this guy might be my favorite horror author!" Bone White is no exception, I HIGHLY recommend picking it up :D Review: Slow burn... - This book starts off with a bang and then slowly creeps to its climax. I like these books which give a sense of a slow burn because it builds up apprehension which is a great payoff once you reach the end. This book I think has two very good strengths. First, the setting and environment is captivating. The author is masterful in using the landscape to help tell the story. I truly feel I am walking around Alaska as I read this book. The other thing that I like that the author does is that he doesn’t waste hundreds of pages in backstory and instead develops characters as the story progresses. There aren’t random side subplot backstories that significantly detract from the main plot. I hate when I’m reading a book and then get stuck in 20 pages of fluff that hide the action and prevent me from moving the book along. This book doesn’t have that. I only have two relatively small negatives. First, I wish the ending was about 20 more pages. I felt the book was building to a great crescendo that didn’t quite get a full play in the orchestra if you know what I mean. Certainly the author landed the plane, but I wish there was a little bit more runway (to completely mixed my metaphors). Second, without going into significant details that would spoil the book, I wish the ending had more clarifications and more full explanations. In my view there were two or three small little loose ends which I didn’t think were tied together as well as they could have been. Certainly though these do not significantly detract from an otherwise very good book. I strongly recommend if you like those types of slow burn books with a rich atmospheric setting that kind of acts as its own character. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #140,399 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #129 in Ghost Thrillers #132 in Ghost Fiction #2,919 in Suspense Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 2,533 Reviews | ## Images ![Bone White - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71a6fDmoUeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another top-notch story from a top-notch author! *by G***D on August 10, 2017* Man, Ronald Malfi has hit it out of the park again!

There isn't much "NOT" to praise about this novel! Malfi begins with a chilling--both figuratively and literally--scene in the tiny, remote town of Dread's Hand, Alaska. A man suffering from severe frostbite and dehydration wanders into the only eating establishment, announcing that someone should call the safety officer, Val Drammell, so that he can show him the location of eight bodies he buried in the woods. ". . . patches of his clothes had grafted to open sores along his torso and thighs." The scene then shifts to Paul Gallo, an unmarried school teacher who's twin brother, Danny, disappeared a year ago. His last known location--Dread's Hand. After this set up, Malfi really nails the characterization of all of his main cast through various means. We have flashbacks of Paul and Danny's childhood, and the different directions each one took into adulthood. He gives us some insight into the alleged murderer, Joseph Mallory, along with the lives and superstitions of the few people who call "The Hand" their year round home. We learn about Val Drummel, and his role in the isolated, mostly wooded area. "No locals would come out here . . . " Paul's next step is to see the Detective of Major Crimes, Jill Ryerson, who was responsible for initiating the search for Danny a year ago--a search that ended with his abandoned rental car on the only road into Dread's Hand. ". . . Time . . . acts funny out here." With that, Paul sets out to Dread's Hand, himself--at this point, I couldn't have put down the story if I tried. To say that this novel was seeped in the icy, isolated atmosphere of an extremely remote and mostly shunned town, would be the understatement of the year. ". . . You look into that woods and something looks back at you. . . " Through Malfi's writing, the reader actually walks that frigid land with the characters, hears the first-hand accounts of residents, the century-old superstitions that they believe as indisputable truths, and can practically feel the open hostility and distrust of any outsiders. ". . . she said there were bad places on earth--dark spots, like bruises--and that Dread's Hand was one of them . . . there were devils up there . . . " BONE WHITE is the kind of book that has the power to mentally take you out of your comfort zone, and transport you into its action. No matter what you read, in the context of this story it will seem believable. This is the tale that nightmares are made of, that make you believe in demons and monsters of all kinds. ". . . A man walks in there, he stand a chance of being touched by the devil. And that man, he goes sour . . . " I've found that with most stories, I can easily walk right back into my everyday life after reading them. After all: ". . . anyone can take one story and rationalize it until it fits with their perception of the world . . . " This is that rare exception that permeates your mind, and refuses to leave, forcing you to keep thinking over the events you've just read, and formulating connections that you may not have consciously noted before. There are many pieces to this puzzle--some obvious, and some much more subtle--but they will all be with you in the end. A fantastic novel with the power to haunt you for a long time to come--what will you choose to believe? ". . . 'We have seen the devil and he is us!'"
