Book Description:
From Amazon user review:
These words, spoken by the anonymous killers roaming the night around Potter's Bluff, a quaint sea side community, are more prophetic than one would think. Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's novelization of the screenplay by the screenwriters of Alien, Dan O' Bannon and Ronald Shussett, joins a very select few books that are actually superior to the film's they adapt into print (Orson Scott Card's The Abyss and Dennis Etchison's The Fog are two others). You can feel the damp chill of the fog as it swirls around those unfortunate souls caught in Potter's Bluff after nightfall. As the bodies stack up the town's sheriff digs deeper and deeper into the mystery, but the answer he finds may cost him his sanity. Highly recommended.

Very grim post-apocalyptic trek through the diseased and dangerous Northern California wilderness.

This was the first Yarbro book I ever read and I loved it. It's a spooky zombie-like horror about a small town sheriff trying to solve a rash of strange disappearances & gruesome deaths of recent tourists. Events gets worse when the dead are spotted walking about town and the locals are becoming more secretive & strange. If you liked the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers, you'll enjoy this book.
