Fiction, Horror & ghost stories, Fantasy
The haunting new literary fantasy from the World Fantasy Award winning author of MEMOIRS OF A MASTER FORGER, now available in mass market paperback.
THE SILENT LAND is a brooding and tender look at love and whether it can survive the greatest challenge we will ever face. The film rights have been optioned by the producer of Brokeback Mountain.
A young couple are caught in an avalanche during a ski-ing holiday in the French Alps. They struggle back to the village and find it deserted. As the days go by they wait for rescue, then try to leave. But each time they find themselves back in the village.
And, increasingly, they are plagued by visions and dreams and the realisation that perhaps no-one could have survived the avalanche.
