About this book

Every room in a snowbound resort holds a death; turn up the heat, and the dead take solid form.

At an isolated mountain hotel, warmth gives the dead weight while cold takes it away. As his father grows enthralled and keeps turning up the boiler, a sensitive boy must seize control before the building’s buried violence finds bodies of its own. Getting his family out alive means making their shelter uninhabitable—carefully enough that they can survive the escape.

Buying from NovelSpell

Choose with confidence

Straight answers before you buy.

Can I read a sample first?

Yes. Open any book and choose “Read chapter one”. Every sample is free, and there’s no need to sign up or buy the book first.

Which edition should I choose?

Choose the eBook to receive DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. Choose the paperback for a physical copy printed after you order. Choose eBook + paperback if you’d like both. Every edition is a once-off purchase with no subscription.

How will I receive my books?

After payment, your eBook downloads are sent to the email address used at checkout. Lulu prints and ships paperbacks on demand, with the available delivery options and cost shown at checkout. The eBook + paperback edition includes both deliveries.

What does DRM-free mean?

Your eBook files aren’t locked to the NovelSpell shop or a single reading app. You can keep personal backups and read the EPUB or PDF using compatible apps and devices.

Which languages are available?

Every NovelSpell title is published in 21 languages. Use the language selector in the header to browse in your language.

Do I need an account?

No. You can make a once-off purchase through Shopify without creating a NovelSpell account or starting a subscription.

What if a book isn’t for me?

Every purchase includes a 90-day satisfaction guarantee beginning when your order is delivered. If a book disappoints you, even after you download or read it, contact reader support for a refund or replacement.

Is checkout secure?

Yes. When you check out, you complete payment through Shopify’s secure hosted checkout. Shopify and its payment partners handle your payment details; the NovelSpell storefront doesn’t receive them.
