In the 1930s, a man who is overwintering at a remote weather station of Svalbard, during the arctic nights, finds out that there's something very very wrong about that place.

This book is a slow-burning psychological horror that starts out as a simple journal log of the protagonist and then slowly turns into a tale of isolation and terror. Author Michelle Paver's utilisation of the isolated setting of the Arctic is absolutely brilliant and quite on par with meaty books like Dan Simon's Terror & Abominable. Overall, it's an excellent little horror novel that packs quite a punch and is highly recommended to any reader who likes spooky horror or survival stories.
