About this book
Every room holds a death; turn up the heat, and it rises in Hushwater, a snowbound horror novel about a boy fighting to save his family.
At an isolated mountain resort, heated spaces give the dead weight, while the cold strips it away. As his father falls further under their sway and drives the boiler higher, a sensitive boy realizes that keeping his family warm is feeding the force that traps them. To lead them out alive, he must take control of the heating system and dismantle their shelter with deadly care.
