Praise for Cold Snap
CrimeReads "Most Anticipated Crime, Horror, and Mystery Novels" of Fall 2024
"Ryan writes a haunting and affecting novella that portrays the wrenching nature of grief and guilt." –Library Journal
“Ryan weaponizes the dread of grief suffered in isolation. Horrific and heartbreaking.” –Jamie Flanagan, screenwriter The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Fall of the House of Usher
"Cold Snap reads like a whiteout of blinding grief. The deeper you plunge into this haunting novella, the more you lose sight of your surroundings. Before long, you won't be able to tell where the pages end and reality begins. It's that immersive." –Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters
"A powerfully affecting study of bereavement, illuminated by a sense of the uncanny and mysterious that builds to vivid scenes of breathless nightmare terror." –Ramsey Campbell, World Fantasy Award-winning author
"Steals through your soul like a winter chill–a heart-rending, darkly humorous hymn to grief, guilt, and love. This is a perfect Christmas horror story that's so crisp and cool, it'll leave your fingers frostbitten." –Josh Winning, author of Heads Will Roll
"The frost bite fever dream that is fresh grief. I read this book in one sitting, and I still feel the chill. An ode to old school King and also something entirely new." -C. J. Leede, author of Maeve Fly and American Rapture
"Cold Snap is an intrusive thought, an open wound. It will consume you." –Stephanie M. Wytovich, Bram Stoker Award®-winning author of Brothel
“Cold Snap is a well-observed study of trauma that doesn’t shy away from the high weirdness of fresh grief. A delirious horror with arresting images and powerful tension.” –Verity M. Holloway, author of The Others of Edenwell
“As uncomfortable as anxiety-induced insomnia. Cold Snap reminds us with icy precision how nothing should be taken for granted, especially family.” –Polly Hall, Bram Stoker Award®-nominated author of The Taxidermist’s Lover
“Lindy Ryan takes old tropes and makes them fresh in this creepy and bizarre little book about grief.” –Ally Wilkes, Bram Stoker Award®-nominated author of All the White Spaces
"This story will haunt your thoughts, senses, and being." -The Horror Tree
