Cold Snap

A group of College students decide to spend their Winter break up in a cabin... in the woods... in the middle of Winter... Well this is obviously going to go well...
The events that occur in this short story take place from the diary of our protagonist Alice. It might be best if they decide to stay inside though... As the winds bite...

Winter Usurpations by Cj Evans is not what I expected...I thought the danger would be a Yeti or Bigfoot, but Evans surprised me by mixing classical horror with a modern setting. This is a good story, but it could've been a great story with another round of editing to polish it up. Alice doesn't put very much emotion into her diary entries, considering the ongoing situation with her friends. Plenty of suspense, but not enough terror.

As always,
