The man, a local ne''er-do-well, appears to have died in a tragic accident: he drank too much and froze to death.   But the facts don''t add up: the dead man is clutching a knife in one hand, and there''s evidence he was hiding from someone. Someone who watched him die. Stranger still, an odd mark has been drawn onto a stone beside his body.    The next victims are two families on the outskirts of town. As the storm rises and the body count grows, Ellie realises she has a terrifying problem on her hands: someone – or some thing – is killing indiscriminately, attacking in the darkness and using the storm for cover.  The killer is circling ever closer to the village. The storm''s getting worse... and the power''s just gone out.File Under: Folk Horror [ Small Town | Big Terror | Long Night | A Few Good Women ]
