Our take
Isolation promises clarity, but the past rarely stays buried.

About the book
"A mix of Henry Jamesian and Stephen King style scariness . . . Surely the first psychological/horror masterpiece of the 21st century." —The Denver Post
A once-respected college professor and novelist, Dale Stewart has sabotaged his career and his marriage—and now darkness is closing in on him. In the last hours of Halloween he has returned to the dying town of Elm Haven, his boyhood home, where he hopes to find peace in isolation. But moving into a long-deserted farmhouse on the far outskirts of town—the one-time residence of a strange and brilliant friend who lost his young life in a grisly "accident" back in the terrible summer of 1960—is only the latest in his long succession of recent mistakes. Because Dale is not alone here. He has been followed to this house of shadows by private demons who are now twisting his reality into horrifying new forms. And a thick, blanketing early snow is starting to fall . . .
"A Winter Haunting further demonstrates Simmons' talent as a literary stylist. It is a frightening ghost story, one that will keep readers guessing until the last page." —Denver Rocky Mountain News
"One of the scariest and most unnerving ghost stories to come along in quite some time." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"[A] highly effective supernatural shocker." —Publishers Weekly
"Simmons works toward a seriously well-written nonhorror novel, until we grow suspicious that we are into a deceptive tale much like the flicks The Sixth Sense and The Others, with a Jamesian ghost story overlay, wherein the everyday has an otherworldly reverse side." —Kirkus Reviews
