Some doors are never meant to be opened.
When architectural photographer Ethan Mercer returns to Blackwood, Vermont to settle his late mother's estate, he plans to be gone in four days. He's spent fifteen years building a life far away from this town, this house, and the things he told himself as a teenager he'd only imagined.
Then a storm closes the only road out - and Ethan finds the door his mother spent her whole life keeping locked.
Beneath the house where four generations of his family have lived, a hidden room holds a hundred and thirty-eight years of photographs: every soul the town has ever lost to its worst winter storms. And in the corner of every single frame, the same woman - never aging, never named.
Until now.
Her name is Evelyn Frost. And she has never stopped knocking.
As the true blizzard of the season bears down on Blackwood, Ethan has only days left to learn what his mother never told him, what the town has spent a century trying to forget, and what it will actually cost to finally close a door his family has kept open for generations.
The House Beneath the Snow is a slow-burn winter gothic about grief, inherited secrets, and the debts a family can pass down without ever naming them out loud - perfect for readers who love a small-town haunting that builds and builds, and a twist they won't see coming.
Some doors were never meant to be opened. And some promises were never meant to be kept alone.
