I’ll have to give my nerves a break for now, but I’ll look for more of Amy Lukavics’s work in the future. I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for some pretty serious horror. Either way, I can’t imagine anyone else reading it, so she did a fantastic job. I’m curious if I just felt that way because of the content or if she’s that good at telling “spooky stories” as they say in the book. Jorjeana Marie’s narration was suitably creepy for this book. What exactly did happen last winter? And what happened at the new cabin? I don’t want to say much more because half the thrill of the book was watching everything slowly unravel. I soldiered on though and holy cow, what a ride this was! I keep seeing it compared to a horror version of Little House on the Prairie so I started calling it The Little House on the Shining when I was telling my husband about it.
I gladly read most horror but one trope in particular seriously gives me nightmares and this book went there. This scared me to death! I got worried that I was going to have to put it aside. But when they open the door, the furniture inside has been destroyed and everything is covered in blood…. They pass one that appears occupied and finally settle on the next one they find, a home with plenty of room for the family. So the Verner family leaves the only home they’ve ever known.īut there aren’t as many cabins available as rumor would have it. Rumor has it that there are plenty of abandoned cabins for the taking down on the prairie.
But it’s too late in the year to build something bigger himself. He knows his family of seven needs more room to breathe than the tiny cabin they currently inhabit affords them.
Farmers are predicting an even worse winter this year and Pa hasn’t forgotten about last winter either. She realizes she’s pregnant at about the same time that her Pa announces they’re moving off the mountain and onto the prairie. After the events of last winter, she thinks she’s going to hell anyway, so she might as well enjoy the sins of the flesh while she can. Amanda Verner has been meeting the postboy in the woods behind her family’s cabin.
