That's a good list, The Terror is very fitting for winter horror.
Mod
comes out on the 25th of this month. I'm sure it will be on lists like this in the future.
Oooo, I love a good winter horror! I would have added Krampus: The Yule Lord
I read that book a few years ago, and was OBSESSED with it

I love that book!
I'm currently reading Snow. I'm only 60 pages in and it's so good! I'm becoming obsessed with Malfi since Come With Me.
Great list!! Winter horror is my favorite subgenre. I would add:Near the Bone by Christina Henry
The Shuddering by Ania Ahlborn
Bone White by Ronald Malfi
No mention of The Shining?John W. Campbell has the novella Who Goes There?, the basis for The Thing. It was published in expanded form as the novel Frozen Hell.
Koontz has Icebound about some people on an iceberg.
A Winter Haunting by Dan Simmons.
There's the novelization of 30 Days of Night and the original graphic novel. Vampires attack the town of Barrow Alaska, which goes through an extended period with no sunrise every winter.
The Bone Factory by Nate Kenyon would def be a good addition. Also, thanks for the list. Got a few more books to add to the pile. :)
I think "Ghost Story" by Peter Straub might also be a good one to include for a dark, chilly, and an especially snowy evening since it will guarantee a good scare Andy time of year!!

That was an awesome book and thanks to you all over here it was a group read back in January of 2017 which I participated in with you all and that is what started my journey of checking out Brian Moreland's books. :)
I have read most of the books on the list. I do need to read The Only Good Indians. Got it on my nightstand.

One of the scariest books I ever read. I read it when I was in high school and couldn't go in the basement for weeks afterwards!!
Check out Lucky Girl: How I Became A Horror Writer: A Krampus Story by M. RickertI think she's written stronger stories, but that's not to say this isn't good. It is.
I'll add my voice in praise of both Ghost Story and The Only Good Indians, and to agree with the list that Midnight Sun by Ramsey Campbell is well worth reading, too.
