Hibernaculum

The story ends more eerie than it started, giving the whole a decidedly cinematic feel as it plumbs pressing questions about life and its value in the Anthropocene. Doyle has hit on something rare: an original approach to climate fiction."BOOKLIFE REVIEWS"...readers who enter Hibernaculum with the characters, who come to realize that its promises may be empty and hold consequences they never saw coming, will find the story gripping, revealing, and frightening.

Some enter the Hibernaculum as a means of prolonging their lives. For others, it's a means of survival in a world they can ill-afford to live in 365 days a year. HIBERNACULUM peers into the lives of some who have hibernated, some who haven't, and some who are on the cusp. Beneath it all lies a sinister truth that will leave you breathless and contemplating our own world long after you've finished the final, revealing chapter.
