The Cold Will Kill You

A woman must come to terms with her sister’s inexplicable death at a secluded cabin in this gripping psychological horror novel from the author of The September House.

Why would someone willingly strip naked and walk to their death in the bitter cold?

This is the question that haunts Maddie, and one to which she is hoping to find the answer when she travels to the remote New Hampshire mountains where her sister, Candace, died of hypothermia just a short walk from her own front door.

What she finds instead is a home in disarray, an unrelenting freeze, and terrifying echoes of her worst fears—that the seeds of her sister’s act were planted in their shared past, and in haunting memories of a dark influence from their childhood that she has tried to forget. As time passes in snowy isolation with a furnace that can’t seem to stave off the cold and the terrors that lurk in the cabin’s darkest corners only growing closer, Maddie realizes she needs to understand what really happened to her sister…before the cold comes calling for her as well.
