A Locked-Room Snowstorm Thriller of Survival
by Darcy Coates
It's not the snow you should fear―it's the person next to you.
Christa hoped a retreat to the Rocky Mountains would help her escape her haunted past, but a brutal snowstorm strands her in an abandoned cabin with eight strangers―and a killer who won't stop until no one is left.
From the very first page, Dead of Winter by Darcy Coates plunges you into bone-chilling isolation and a relentless fight for survival. This visceral locked-room horror blends graphic, inventive suspense with an atmosphere so intense you'll feel the icy air and hear every creak in the darkness. The claustrophobic cabin becomes a trap, where trust is a luxury no one can afford, and betrayal lurks behind every fearful glance.
If you crave snowstorm survival and unrelenting dread, this is your next obsession.
"Coates's (The Twisted Dead) latest is a compelling page-turner for readers of horror and thriller fiction, in the vein of Dean Koontz and Stephen King. The writing is magnetic and descriptive in a way that will have readers shivering from both the cold and outright fear." ―Library Journal
"The execution is fresh, scary, and―especially for readers who are even a little claustrophobic―deeply unsettling. Coates' writing is so vivid that we can hear the winds buffeting the cabin, we can feel the bone-chilling cold, and we can smell the fear. Fine work." ―Booklist
"A fast-paced thriller aimed at readers who enjoy a hunt." ―Kirkus Reviews
