Cold House

by T.M. Wright

In a dark, strange city which may exist, in a time which may have been, in a cold, cold house as big as Cleveland, on streets the color of blood, among a thousand ghosts, and people who watch but barely speak, a man and a woman, separated by nightmare, search for each other and find an eternal winter, faces they do not recognize, love, torment, sacrifice.
The people in this city are everywhere this morning. Thousands of them moving through the streets like a river, flowing here and flowing there, in pink and brown and gray, in and out of the townhouses, in and out of the row-houses.

Reviews

[Kevin Lucia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely amazing. Emotional, metaphysical narrative which muses on time, existence, the afterlife, and being. Existential "horror" at its best, but the ending provides closure, and healing...yet at the same time is kind of awful, too.

[Courtney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fabulous! This is a pseudo-horror novel, but mostly a love story across planes of existence. Compelling writing - insidiously sucks you in. I really enjoyed this book.
