What happens when the line between fiction and reality blurs?
All Camille Monroe wants is a quiet
place to work on her novel. Hoping for inspiration, she retreats to a cabin in
Asheville, with only her dog Brody as company.
Leah Strauss thought the summer after
high school graduation would be amazing, but when her boyfriend Vincent suffers
an untimely loss, her dream of the perfect summer is destroyed. Attempting to
cheer up Vincent, Leah’s twin sister Ava and her boyfriend Noah join them on a
road trip.
When a snowstorm strikes the
mountains while Leah and her friends are hiking, they struggle to find their
campsite. After becoming lost in the woods, they stumble across a cabin and
seek shelter from the storm.
As the days pass, the guests feel increasingly unsafe in the stranger’s cabin. Camille seems to know all their secrets, and she doesn’t want them to leave. Who is this dangerous writer and what does she want from them? Their biggest problem quickly becomes escaping the cabin alive.
Tropes: Snowstorm, locked room mystery, cabin in the woods, 80s book, magical/supernatural powers.
Content warnings: alcoholism,
suicide, swearing, murder.
Excerpt:
Despite their quickened pace compared
to earlier, the snow continued to fall, and the sky darkened as the storm
rolled in, making it difficult to see. Even while using his flashlight, Vincent
couldn’t read the map to determine where they were. When they stopped
momentarily to discuss it, they all agreed it was likely that they had strayed
from their original path. They wandered down the mountain, hoping they wouldn’t
be stranded out in the open. All they cared about was finding a safe place to
seek shelter until the snow stopped. They needed a place to set up camp until
the morning.
Leah shivered and tried not to think
about what would happen if they couldn’t find somewhere safe to stay for the
night. The air became increasingly colder, and they had nothing with them that
could keep them warm enough until the morning. They each wore regular hiking
clothes, leggings and long-sleeve shirts, with light fleece jackets over their
shirts, and hiking boots. Their tent, sleeping bags, and warmer layers of
clothes were back at the campsite.
As they carefully traipsed down the
mountainside, Vincent called out to them. “Look! Do you see that? A cabin!”
Leah’s gaze drifted to the spot where
Vincent pointed. She wore glasses and had terrible vision for things that were
far away, so she struggled to see what Vincent had spotted. “Where?”
Vincent pointed again, and as they
ventured closer, Leah saw a log cabin several hundred feet off the trail. Smoke
rose from the chimney, signifying a fire going, and more importantly, that
there was most likely someone inside.
“We’ll knock on the door and ask if we
can come inside until the storm passes. I’m sure they’ll understand,” Vincent
said.
Leah and Ava exchanged concerned
glances.
“We’re just going to knock on a
stranger’s door and ask if we can stay with them? Are you for real?” Leah
slowed down her pace as she considered the idea. She rubbed her arms in a
futile attempt to warm herself.
“Don’t worry, we’ll protect you.” Noah
grinned, gesturing to himself and Vincent. Noah stepped up to the door of the
cabin and knocked.
They all waited for someone to answer,
hoping someone would let them inside, fearing their fate if they did, and also
what would happen if they didn’t. The snow swirled around them, the storm
intensifying as they waited.
