Publisher Description
A suspenseful YA graphic novel thriller where the winter chill isn't the only thing that bites!
In the dead of winter, blood runs cold!
Teen influencers Jen and Dante post wild videos of themselves doing extreme sports. But when they jump out of a helicopter to ski down a mountain, the stunt goes way wrong. Dante's ankle gets slashed, and the helicopter crew -- who were supposed to be waiting at the bottom of the mountain -- are nowhere to be found. As the confused teens seek answers from some locals, they all find themselves flesh-to-fang, trapped in an isolated cabin surrounded by frost vampires!
Their only hope for survival is to make it to sunrise...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Boothby (the Sparks! series) and Guerra (Y: The Last Man: Unmanned) deliver a cinematic supernatural horror graphic novel set against the stark, snowy expanse of the Canadian mountains. Teenage siblings Jen and Dante, both social media influencers and snowboarders, and filmmaker Bev—all depicted with pale skin—venture into the backcountry to capture footage that the athletes hope will build their fan base and garner enough revenue to fund Bev's film school ambitions. But when their helicopter drop goes awry, leaving them stranded at an eerily deserted rendezvous point, their adrenaline-fueled outing turns sinister. Taking refuge in a remote cabin, they find themselves besieged by relentless waves of "snow vampires"—creatures that emerge from the frozen landscape with claws bared and fangs flashing. Bev wryly narrates the ordeal, imagining she's directing a horror film, and this coping mechanism reflects the all-too-real nightmare unfolding around her. The initial ambiguity of the monsters' origins, details of which slowly unfold over the course of the narrative, heightens dread. Realistic, sharply detailed artwork captures both the isolated setting and the teens' mounting panic. A steady barrage of jump scares, visceral action, and escalating tension propels the chilling story toward a somewhat nebulous resolution. Ages 12–up.
