    About this ebook

    Two young girls are haunted by the spirit of their dead sister.

    Little Peggy Buchanan is dead, drowned in the family swimming pool on an icy winter day. When her sisters recreate her image in the snow, they have no idea of the eerie forces they are unleashing.

    Peggy had always imagined herself as Gerda in The Snow Queen. Now she has been resurrected in the form of Hel, the legendary being supposedly responsible for death by freezing. Anyone who threatens or even gets close to the sisters risks a – literally – chilling death...

    'One of the most original and frightening storytellers of our time' PETER JAMES.

    'A true master of horror' JAMES HERBERT.

    Graham Masterton

    Graham Masterton was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1946. He worked as a newspaper reporter before taking over joint editorship of the British editions of Penthouse and Penthouse Forum magazines. His debut novel, The Manitou, was published in 1976 and sold over one million copies in its first six months. It was adapted into the 1978 film starring Tony Curtis, Susan Strasberg, Stella Stevens, Michael Ansara, and Burgess Meredith. Since then, Masterton has written over seventy-five horror novels, thrillers, and historical sagas, as well as published four collections of short stories and edited Scare Care, an anthology of horror stories for the benefit of abused children. He and his wife, Wiescka, have three sons. They live in Cork, Ireland, where Masterton continues to write.

      This book was quite good. I'm pleased that Amazon is now selling several of Masterton's horror novels in Kindle format, but cripes is the OCR terrible. So many wrong words. cl replaced with a d. Italicized words all mangled. It was very distracting.
