Short description

Eight artists at a retreat work to survive an avalanche burying their house, but avoiding cabin fever is difficult when everyone's having the same dream... “Down From Ten is a brilliant, sometimes creepy take on a bohemian cozy with surreal underpinnings and an irrepressibly touching ending.” –Gail Carriger, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Parasol Protectorate series

Extended description

You can make the whole world end, if you but count down from ten...

Eight friends gather for their annual retreat--cloistered in a mansion in California's high country for ten days of games, conversation, exhibition, and hedonism. When the house is buried by an avalanche, they must somehow survive and stay sane while waiting for rescue--a task which becomes increasingly difficult when they all start having the same disturbing dream.

Can they escape the icy tomb before they all go mad? The clock is ticking. 10, 9, 8...

“Down From Ten is a brilliant, sometimes creepy take on a bohemian cozy with surreal underpinnings and an irrepressibly touching ending.” –Gail Carriger, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Parasol Protectorate series

(Note, review based on podcast version)

One thing Dan excels with is characters, and this book he really shows his skill. What do you get when you take 8 real people and throw them in a single locked house for the better part of two weeks?

The people are real, with faults and virtues, the setting works so well, snowed in with no escape. But Dan manages to bring as much humor and laughter as he does spine-tingling chills.

Definitely worth a read or 3.
