As a child growing up in Northern Michigan, the Holiday Season was magical with the snow on the ground, glittering in the cold December sun. It was the quintessential Christmas experience. Living there as an adult with typical adult responsibilities, was another matter entirely. Life in the Northern tier works around the environment. That means gathering your resources like food, water, and firewood during the times when the weather isn't so harsh. Living in places that have snowstorms and Arctic-like temperatures does tend to make one prepared because you will never know how long the storm will last, how long you will be snowed in and isolated from others. This environment is perfect for the mystery and horror fiction listed below. All of these book selections take place in rugged, snowy conditions that truly test the characters resolve, and can lead into chilling situations.
