I think I liked this book - I think I’ll like it more the longer I sit with it, because the ending is very abrupt & leaves a lot of things unanswered, but in a good way? Maybe?
This felt much more sci-fi than horror, more akin to Hitchhiker’s Guide than Stephen King.
Hart & his employees (Cline & Gibbs) are tasked with keeping maintenance of a temporarily out of use research facility in the middle of nowhere. We follow them through their menial weekly tasks & as they discover that they can suddenly see a thing out in the snow. When the only remaining researcher is no help to them, theories fly & productivity decreases. Hart is set on being a proper leader & desperately tries to keep them on track to little success.
As this is told through Hart’s POV, the reader is left wondering how reliable the narrator is, why the researchers had to evacuate, & what the heck the thing in the snow is?!
