A shooting star marks the beginning nightmares for the small town of Crowley’s Point. Those who venture outdoors instantly transform into piles of salt. Is it the result of biological experimentation gone awry? A terrorist’s plot? Or is it the fulfillment of a horrific Biblical prophecy? Among those stranded in the local hardware store are a newlywed couple who may be hiding a secret, a hard-living family of four who are known primarily for their aversion to the law, and an elderly man that found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. As the carnage spreads and the mystery deepens, those trapped inside stumble across clues that hint at fallen angels, omens, and widespread bloodshed. And all signs indicate that one of the group who isn’t what they seem. Will the survivors root out the impostor before it’s too late? Or will they all themselves transformed into piles of salt, blown asunder by Winds of Change? "It is a rare treat to find a modern horror writer whose work is truly a mirror of the darkest corners of the world we all share. Jason Brannon is one to watch."--Stephen Susco, screenwriter THE GRUDGE and PULSE "A wild ride and then some... I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!"--James Newman, author of MIDNIGHT RAIN "Should make it to everyone's must read list."--James A. Moore, author of SERENITY FALLS
