Snowball
by Gregory Bastianelli
My Review
I love horror stories where the elements play a huge part in character survival. This one didn’t disappoint.
A bunch of motorists get stranded on a patch of highway during a snow storm. Whiteout conditions, freezing temps. I can’t imagine how bad that would be. Throw in some seriously creepy snowmen that mysteriously appear and it all goes crazy from there.
I’ve always been told that when caught in a situation like this, it’s best to stay put. Wait it out. Something forces a few of these people to seek help. Could the cabin in the woods provide that? Or was it all a lure? I couldn’t wait to find out. And when I did, what a wacky, twisted ending it was. And I have to mention that the cover is perfect.

Synopsis
A group of motorists become stranded on a lonely stretch of highway during a Christmas Eve blizzard and fight for survival against an unnatural force in the storm. The gathered survivors realize a tenuous connection among them means it may not be a coincidence that they all ended up on this highway. An attempt to seek help leads a few of the travelers to a house in the woods where a twisted toymaker with a mystical snow globe is hell bent on playing deadly games with a group of people just trying to get home for the holidays.

I’m so looking forward to reading this! I can never resist the snowy scene horror plots!
I can’t resist them either!
Snowball sounds good and freezing and scary!
I’m always drawn to books with weather conditions like this. It’s bad enough they have to survive the elements, then there’s what those elements bring with them.
I’ve seen this book on a couple of blogs and it sounds like a bunch of fun😁
It was wicked fun, Tammy.
I have to look for this. It sounds like my kind of read 🙂
