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.… (más)
"Snow" es uno de esos ejemplos en los que la narración realmente no oculta nada, no hay un tema que dé coherencia a la historia, ni Malfi muestra su visión del mundo (lógicamente, algo hay, aunque es tan leve que apenas es perceptible, y sí le sirvió a Malfi para escribir la novela, pero eso no lo principal de esta historia). "Snow" es puro escapismo, escrito con el muy sano objetivo de entretener al lector (algo que los intelectuales nunca entenderán), pero es un escapismo de muchísimos quilates. Malfi es un autor tremendamente visual, capaz de lograr escenas muy espectaculares y agobiantes, y tiene muy buena mano para subir tensión y crear suspense.

She climbed inside the Mercedes with all the good intentions in the world, but by the time Tracy Murphy made it back home to Nebraska, she had forgotten all about the strange man, the box of Band-Aids, and the peculier little girl whose face she had not seen.
