Product Description
by Mike Sirota (Author)
November 18, Tuesday - The snow was deep; we couldn't make it through the pass. Only the Lord knows if we will be able to cross these Sierra mountains. January 2, Friday - Ada Krueger died. Ate our children's dog, as there is nothing else. George Stillwell said we should think about eating the flesh of our dead. God in heaven help us if this is our only hope January 4, Sunday - Jordy Fry said he saw a figure through the trees in the direction of the pass. Maybe our Salvation is near . . . Bestselling author Paul Fleming has writer's block. The past few months have been hell. Four weeks at the prestigious Thorburn Colony, a writers' and artists' retreat in the high Sierras, seems to be the perfect cure. Until an ancient horror returns to collect on an old debt-and make Paul realize that he had no idea what hell really is.
