The dead of winter.
An isolated island off the coast of Maine.
A man.
A woman.
A sinister house looming over the sea ...
He's a reclusive writer whose macabre imagination creates chilling horror novels. She's a down-on-her-luck actress reduced to staging kids' puppet shows. He knows a dozen ways to kill with his bare hands. She knows a dozen ways to kill with laughs.
But she's not laughing now. When she was a teenager, he terrified her. Now they're trapped together on a snowy island off the coast of Maine. Is he the villain she remembers or has he changed? Her head says no. Her heart says yes.
It's going to be a long, hot winter.

The
apparition came from nowhere.
A man clad in
black flew across the bottom of the road on a midnight horse. She’d always had a
vivid imagination¾witness her internal conversations with her puppets¾and she
thought she was imagining this. But the vision was real. Horse and rider racing
through the snow, the man leaning low over the horse’s mane
streaming. They were demon creatures, a nightmare horse and lunatic man
galloping into the storm’s fury.
They
disappeared as quickly as they’d appeared, but her foot automatically hit the
brake, and the car began to slide. It skidded across the road and,with a
sickening lurch, came to a stop in the snow-filled ditch.
You’re
such a loser, Leo the villain sneered.
Tears of
exhaustion filled her eyes. Her hands shook. Were the man and horse indeed real
or had she conjured them? She needed to focus. She put the car into
reverse and attempted to rock it out, but the tires only spun deeper. Her head
fell against the back of the seat. If she stayed here long enough, someone
would find her. But when? Only the cottage and the main house lay at the end of
this road.
She tried to
think. Her single contact on the island was the man who took care of the main
house and the cottage, but she’d only had an e-mail address to let him know she
was arriving and ask him to turn on the cottage’s utilities. Even if she had
his phone number¾Will Shaw¾that was his name¾she doubted she could get cell
reception out here.
Loser. Leo never spoke in an ordinary voice. He only sneered.
Annie grabbed
a tissue from a crumpled pack, but instead of thinking about her dilemma, she
thought about the horse and rider. What kind of a crazy took an animal out in
this weather? She squeezed her eyes shut and fought a wave of nausea. If only
she could curl up and go to sleep. Would it be so terrible to admit that life
had gotten the best of her?
