Our Winter Monster

Chilling holiday horror about an unhappy couple running from their problems and straight into the maw of a terrifying beast, perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay and Sara Gran

A year ago, something terrible happened to Holly and Brian. They lived—Holly made sure of that—but the people they used to be didn’t survive.  

Tonight, Holly and Brian race toward Pinebuck, New York, trying to outrun a blizzard on their way to the ski village getaway they hope will save their strained relationship. But soon they lose control of the car—and then of themselves. 

Now Sheriff Kendra Book is getting calls about a couple in trouble—along with reports of a brutal and mysterious creature rampaging through town, leaving a trail of crushed cars, wrecked buildings, and mangled bodies in the bloody snow. 

To Kendra, who lost another couple to the snow just seven weeks ago, the danger feels personal. But not as personal as it feels to Holly and Brian, who are starting to see the past, the present, and themselves in monstrous new ways . . . 

Deftly constructed and acutely observed, Our Winter Monster looks at how we can lose ourselves to trauma, the hidden costs of coping, and the truth that, when dealing with private pain, sometimes the only way to endure is together.
