Bone White
A brother seeks his missing twin in a haunted Alaskan town.
Paul Gallo arrives in Dread's Hand, Alaska, hoping to find answers about his twin brother Danny's disappearance. Instead, he finds a landscape of frozen darkness and locals who fear what lurks in the woods. The area is marked by wooden crosses meant to contain something dangerous. As Paul investigates the recent mass murder case, he realizes no one can explain exactly what happened to Danny. The mystery deepens as he feels himself becoming part of the very phenomenon he seeks to understand. Malfi uses the remote setting and superstitious beliefs to create a sense of inescapable dread.
The story is set in Dread's Hand, Alaska, a remote wilderness area described as more like a bad memory than a town. It draws on themes of superstitious locals and the fear of the devil stealing souls within this isolated American setting.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Malfi crafts a deeply unsettling narrative where the remote Alaskan setting serves as more than mere backdrop; it actively contributes to the creeping sense of dread. The author excels at blending personal grief with supernatural terror, ensuring that Paul’s search for his brother feels urgent and emotionally resonant. The use of wooden crosses and local superstition adds layers of mythic weight to the story. While not suited for those seeking fast-paced action or definitive answers, the book rewards patience with a dense, oppressive atmosphere. It is a strong entry in the gothic horror subgenre, effectively using isolation to magnify psychological tension and create a lingering sense of unease.
