    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.

      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.
