Our Winter Monster by Dennis Mahoney (Hell’s Hundred, January 28, 2025)

It’s probably become pretty apparent if you’ve been reading Book Radar for a while: horror books are always at the top of my TBR list, and this new one, coming out at the beginning of 2025, is one I’ll be lined up to read as soon as it’s available! After all, it’s wintery, so you’ll want to read it during the chilly months to get the full experience, right?

Holly and Brian used to be happy in their relationship, but one night changed everything. Neither have been able to forgive and forget, and they haven’t been on the same page since. In the hopes of mending their relationship, the couple book a romantic ski village getaway to get some much-needed one-on-one time. But their hopes for a pleasant ski trip are thwarted when a blizzard hits the area, and as they race to their destination trying to beat the bad weather, they lose control of the car.

Seven weeks ago, Sheriff Kendra Parker lost a couple in the snow. Now, when she gets calls about another couple in danger, she can’t help but feel like this is a chance to redeem herself. But it won’t be easy. People say there’s a mysterious creature destroying the town, wrecking cars, and killing everything in its path.

Words of Literary Wisdom

“Sometimes, a perfect sandwich is not just about the sandwich itself, but about the setting. The experience of eating the sandwich. Context can elevate a great sandwich to a spiritual experience.”
