A grieving mother and son hope to survive Christmas in a remote mountain cabin in Pennsylvania, in this chilling novella of dread, isolation and sinister spirits lurking in the frozen woods. Perfect for fans of The Only Good Indians, The Shining and The Babadook. Two weeks ago, Christine Sinclaires husband slipped off the roof while hanging Christmas lights and fell to his death on the front lawn. Desperate to escape her guilt and her grief, Christine packs up her fifteen-year-old son and the family cat and flees to the cabin theyd reserved deep in the remote Pennsylvania Wilds to wait out the holidays. It isnt long before Christine begins to hear strange noises coming from the forest. When she spots a horned figure watching from between frozen branches, Christine assumes its just a forest animala moose, maybe, since the property manager warned her about them, said theyd stomp a body so deep into the snow nobodyd find it til spring. But moose dont walk upright like the shadowy figure does. They dont call Christines name with her dead husbands voice.

Great idea, but poorly executed. Christine's husband has recently died, so she & her son decide to celebrate Christmas in the cabin that her husband had rented before he died. When they get there, things go bad in so many ways.
Warnings for a brutal pet death & for an ambiguous ending. Numerous parts of this book don't add up 🤷🏼‍♀️

A recently widowed woman and her 15 year old son go to an isolated cabin for Christmas. This is a meditation on grief. It is boring and the end makes absolutely no sense.
