Overview

Midwestern Mayhem! Remember the '90s? Well...the town of Demise, North Dakota doesn't, and they're living in the year 1997. That's because an alien worm hitched a ride on a comet, crash-landed in the town's trailer park, and is now infecting animals with a memory-loss-inducing bite-and right before Christmas! Now it's up to nineteen-year-old Realene and her best friend Nate to stop the spread and defeat the worms before the entire town loses its mind. The only things standing in the way are their troubled pasts, a doomsday cult, and an army of infected prairie dogs.

"""Fast-paced, clever, and nostalgic, Frost Bite single-handedly proves that Angela Sylvaine is a major rising star in the horror genre. This book's even got its own fabulous '90s playlist. Be still, my horror heart."" -Gwendolyn Kiste, Lambda Literary and Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Reluctant Immortals and The Rust Maidens ""Frost Bite is propulsive, wonderfully weird and joyously nostalgic. Loved this coming of age, speculative novel!"" -Erika T. Wurth, author of White Horse ""Sylvaine unleashes a horde of little horrors on the prairie in this infectiously fun creature feature, oozing with '90s nostalgia and heartland heart."" -Brian McAuley, author of Curse of the Reaper ""A gleeful romp through blood-drenched snow. Sylvaine's debut is both bone-chilling and heart-warming at once, equal parts nostalgia and fresh spins on classic tropes-a coming-of-age horror perfect for readers of any age."" -Lindy Ryan, Bram Stoker Award-nominated editor of Into the Forest and author of Bless Your Heart ""Fun as hell! Frost Bite is a campy, wild blend of Gremlins and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. As always, Angela Sylvaine delivers endless gore and laughs."" -Drew Huff, author of Free Burn ""The best books are the ones that offer big concepts without letting them get in the way of the story's heart: its characters. Angela Sylvaine's Frost Bite does exactly that. Sure, there's a crashed meteor and alien-infested prairie dogs causing chaos and memory loss into a North Dakota town's residents, but more importantly, there's Realene struggling to care for her mother with dementia, and Nate reeling from an abusive relationship. Sylvaine pairs these heavy moments with absurd '90s horror pulp to wicked effect. You think you know what you're going to get with Frost Bite? Trust me, it's all that and a bag of chips."" -Alex Ebenstein, author of Melon Head Mayhem ""Funny, terrifying, nostalgic, and full of heart, one bite will have you up all night! Frost Bite blends horror and sci-fi with '90s nostalgia to produce a truly unique reading adventure that's both horrifying and fun! This is my most anticipated fall release!"" -Meagen Dallner, Books Are Awesome, Parker, Colorado"
