From Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Turtle Boy, comes a quintet of stories designed to freeze the blood as you lose yourself in the horrors that await you...in the DEAD OF WINTER.

"The settings here are quite stark (as suggested by the book's cover image), but these moving narratives will have you trembling from more than just the chill." --Macabre Republic

"DEAD OF WINTER is an engaging read, both individually and as a whole. United in theme and imagery, Burke’s collection is infused with enough dread to trigger an outbreak of seasonal effective disorder in even the most optimistic of readers. Available electronically, there’s no excuse not to treat yourself to some serious winter blues — just make sure you take a double dose of Vitamin D before you do." - The Blog Farm
