A grieving mother and son hope to survive Christmas in a remote mountain cabin in Pennsylvania, in this chilling novella of dread, isolation and sinister spirits lurking in the frozen woods. Perfect for fans of The Only Good Indians, The Shining and The Babadook.
Two weeks ago, Christine Sinclaire’s husband slipped off the roof while hanging Christmas lights and fell to his death on the front lawn. 
Desperate to escape her guilt and her grief, Christine packs up her fifteen-year-old son and the family cat and flees to the cabin they’d reserved deep in the remote Pennsylvania Wilds to wait out the holidays.
It isn’t long before Christine begins to hear strange noises coming from the forest. When she spots a horned figure watching from between frozen branches, Christine assumes it’s just a forest animal—a moose, maybe, since the property manager warned her about them, said they’d stomp a body so deep into the snow nobody’d find it ’til spring. 
But moose don’t walk upright like the shadowy figure does. 
They don’t call Christine’s name with her dead husband’s voice.

      It's only been two weeks since Christine Sinclaire's husband, Derek, slipped off the roof of their house while putting up Christmas lights. She's still reliving that horrifying moment when he slipped and she couldn't grab him in time to stop his fatal fall. Needing to get away from all the memories in their home and the stream of well-meaning neighbors, she packs up her angsty 15-year-old son and the cat, both of whom preferred Derek to her, and they head to the remote cabin in the snowy Pennsylvania Wilds that Derek had booked them for the holidays. Instead of peace, Christine experiences even more torment, as a great horned figure lurks in the shadows and calls her name in her dead husband's voice; the figure turns out to be decidedly dangerous. In descriptive prose, Ryan makes readers feel the anguish and terror that everyday life becomes after a devastating loss, almost as horrifying as the creature that stalks Christine. VERDICT Ryan (Bless Your Heart) writes a haunting and affecting novella that portrays the wrenching nature of grief and guilt.--Melissa DeWild
