Three Chilling Reads for a Snowy Night

Unoriginal post title, I know, but hey, I’ve got a lot of things going at the moment and didn’t feel like thinking up anything witty. So without further preamble, here you go—three stories to read over the next month whenever you find yourself snowed in…


1. Tim Lebbon’s WHITE

One of the best novellas I’ve ever read (Lebbon’s actually written two of my favorite novellas, the other one an amazing story called NAMING OF PARTS), WHITE is the kind of story that’s so good it makes other authors jealous. And terrified. And very, very cold in the best possible way. I wrote the following blog post about WHITE already, in case you’re not yet convinced you should read it.


2. Dan Simmons’s THE TERROR

This one might take you awhile, but I assure you the time investment is worth it. It’s epic in every sense of the word. If I were creating a list of top ten reads of the new millennium, this one would make the cut. Easily.


3. Brian Moreland’s DEAD OF WINTER

Brian is a friend and a fellow Samhain writer. He also happens to be a masterful storyteller. DEAD OF WINTER is dark, textured, and impeccably researched. Check it out and get lost in Moreland’s eerie story.


So there you have it. Have a good night, friends. And stay cozy.

Maria Hi Jonathan. Thank you for the reading suggestions! I will keep them in mind, but would prefer to read them on a beach. LOL.


message 2: by Jonathan (new)

Jonathan Janz Ah, I would too, Maria. I would too. :-)


message 3: by James (new)

James Campbell The last 2 are ones I would love to get into. I was given The Terror for Christmas, and we had a big snowstorm (11") and record cold (for Windsor, ON), so it set the stage perfectly. However, I am still finishing my current read, and don't like to drop what I am reading or attempt to read more than one book at a time!

I really want to get my hands on the Moreland title soon though too.
