crash into this queer sci-fi frozen apocalypse...
Within moments of his escape pod crash-landing in a night-clad frozen forest, musician Asher Hollin is frostbitten, bleeding, a thief, and a killer.If not for technology looted from a dead prison guard, he’d be long dead, either from the frigid temperatures or from being attacked by axe-wielding marauders. If Ash wants to survive, he must venture out into this terra incognita unready, unsteady, and absolutely out of his element.But exposure, thirst, hunger, and barbarians are the least of his concerns. In this world thrust into the depths of an unrelenting winter, the sun, moon, and stars rarely shine, and the darkness stalks survivors’ every move.With each step he takes, Ash is reminded that survival and death are always one poor decision apart. And as the shadows close in around him, he must confront not only the darkness, but also the light.Fans of The Poetic Edda, McCarthy’s The Road, Paulsen’s Hatchet, Wells’s The Time Machine, Miller’s Song of Achilles, and the video games The Long Dark and Skyrim will enjoy the futuristic frozen solitude and fiery passion of Fimbulvinter’s Fires.This snowpocalypse contains adult language, violence and death, deep snow, and high heat. Tread carefully.
