The Bleak December drops readers into a quiet corner of New Hampshire already cut off from the wider world by distance, sparse population, and deep cold. When a supernatural storm closes in, a cult leader begins working the fear and isolation of the community to his advantage, pushing the people of the Granite State toward something dark. A handful of locals from the north country are all that stand between the man and his plans.
Summers sets the book in terrain he knows well. The rural New England setting is specific enough to feel real, and the winter atmosphere runs through every page. The threat is both supernatural and human, which keeps the horror grounded even as things escalate.
The Bleak December is the first book in the series and stands alone as a complete story.
