And a thick, blanketing early snow is starting to fall ...

  • "After an intense love affair, Professor Dale Stewart has lost everything--even his confidence as a novelist. To salvage his sanity and pride, he returns to a farmhouse in the small Illinois town of his childhood to work on his manuscript. But peace is the last thing he'll find, for the house is haunted in more ways than one."
  • "Dale Stewart, professeur de littérature anglaise à l'université du Montana et auteur d'une série de romans à succès, a vécu des évènements mystérieux dans l'Illinois quarante ans plus tôt lorsqu'il avait douze ans. Dale arrive à un tournant crucial de sa vie : sa femme et sa maîtresse l'ont quitté et il se retrouve sans emploi et dépressif. Il ressent alors le besoin de retourner dans l'Illinois."
  • "Returning to the small Illinois town of his childhood to pick up the pieces of his shattered life, Dale Stewart leases an empty farmhouse of a long-dead friend, who had been murdered in the summer of 1960, and finds that the house is haunted."
