Snowblind
by Christopher Golden
All ghosts are ghosts of loss. You might think that Christopher Golden's Snowblind is about restless ghosts and the skeery ice monsters that live in whiteout snowstorms, and it is, but it's also a meditation on loss and how love is what really survives after death. Golden asks, what if you had a second chance at that love? And answers, that would mean you also had a second chance at that crushing kind of loss because, sadly, nothing is forever. The monsters in this book are scary in themselves, but not as scary as what they represent: the re-opening of old wounds, the inability to let go of the past, and the terrifying nature of inevitability.
Don't get me wrong, Snowblind is exciting and scary and vicious in places. An excellent horror novel that earns the comparisons to early King. But at its core is a beating heart of tenderness and longing for lost love. Snowblind is wonderful.
