Dan Maurer's short novel grew from a question that, so he tells us, snowballed in his mind: "Did I have an idyllic childhood?" And if so, how far away was he from the chill tendrils of darkness that sometimes drag us down into the deep?"Snow Day" is the story of Billy, a ten-year-old who discovers another child standing next to a fresh corpse, battered beyond recognition. He just wanted to play...Billy finds himself thrust into a mad struggle for survival, on the coldest and darkest of days. As in Silent Hill, the comforts of quiet suburbia suddenly transform, becoming twisted and unfamiliar. Will he survive this snow day?
