In Christopher Golden’s first horror novel in more than a decade---a work reminiscent of early Stephen King---Snowblind updates the ghost story for the modern age.
The small New England
town of Coventry had weathered a thousand blizzards . . . but never one
like this. Icy figures danced in the wind and gazed through children's
windows with soul-chilling eyes. People wandered into the whiteout and
were never seen again. Families were torn apart, and the town would
never be the same.
Now, as a new storm approaches
twelve years later, the folks of Coventry are haunted by the memories of
that dreadful blizzard and those who were lost in the snow.
Photographer Jake Schapiro mourns his little brother, Isaac, even
as---tonight---another little boy is missing. Mechanic and part-time
thief Doug Manning's life has been forever scarred by the mysterious
death of his wife, Cherie, and now he’s starting over with another woman
and more ambitious crimes. Police detective Joe Keenan has never been
the same since that night, when he failed to save the life of a young
boy . . . and the boy’s father vanished in the storm only feet away. And
all the way on the other side of the country, Miri Ristani receives a
phone call . . . from a man who died twelve years ago.
As old ghosts trickle back, this new storm will prove to be even more terrifying than the last.
