Dead Mountain

A Horror Novel

Experience a fast-paced creature horror inspired by one of history's creepiest incidents.

In 1959, nine experienced hikers died on a nameless Russian mountain. They cut their way out of their tent from the inside and fled barefoot into a blizzard. No one has ever explained why.

The locals have always known. They call that place Holatchahl. Dead Mountain.

Sixty years later, a documentary crew goes silent in the same frozen pass. When Caleb Forrester learns his twin sister was among them, he joins a desperate expedition into the Urals to bring her home. But the cold isn't what's hunting them. Something waits beneath the snow — something patient, something hungry — and the mountain has been keeping its secret for a very long time.

Dead Mountain is not about to let those secrets out now.
