"A landscape of frozen darkness punctuated by grim, gray days. The feeling like a buzz in your teeth. The scrape of bone on bone...Paul Gallo saw the report on the news: a mass murderer leading police to his victims' graves, in remote Dread's Hand, Alaska. It's not even a town; more like the bad memory of a town. The same bit of wilderness where his twin brother went missing a year ago. As the bodies are exhumed, Paul travels to Alaska to get closure and put his grief to rest. But the mystery is only beginning. What Paul finds are superstitious locals who talk of the devil stealing souls, and a line of wooden crosses to keep what's in the woods from coming out. He finds no closure because no one can explain exactly what happened to Danny. And the more he searches for answers, the more he finds himself becoming part of the mystery..." --Back cover.

A genuinely scary horror story, set in rural Alaska which gave it an even more unsettling edge. There was a bit of a psychological component with the “twins” subplot.
It could have moved a little faster. There were many scenes where the author has the protagonist think he sees something and it turns out to be...nothing!
Once or twice can add a creepy vibe but repeating the trick decreases the effect.
Still, it's worth a try if you're in the mood for a scary book.
