SNOW BLACK
“Snow Black is a classic horror thriller about a small, isolated town, a fierce blizzard, and a monster. It calls to mind stories like Dark Was the Night, Phantoms, and 30 Days of Night. It has all the creepy shocks and fun you’d ever want! Thom Erb sticks the landing on this spooky tale!” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of NecroTek: Cold War and Red Empire
WHEN THE STORM CAME… IT DIDN’T COME ALONE.
Sterling Point presents a deceptive calm. Beneath its quaint Western New York exterior lurks ancient malice, recently disturbed by hunters who didn’t know what they were awakening. Now it hungers, and the town will pay the price.
For Mitchell Roberts, a writer gaining recognition, his mother’s death forces an unwelcome homecoming. The brutal nor’easter trapping him in Sterling Point seems fitting—nature’s fury mirroring his emotional turmoil. But the storm brings something worse than snow.
As the entity’s influence spreads, residents vanish. Survival becomes uncertain. Mitchell finds himself uniquely positioned to confront this threat, though he barely understands his connection to it.
The body count climbs with each passing hour. Mitchell must navigate both personal ghosts and literal monsters, piecing together fragments of local lore while staying alive.
This is Sterling Point’s darkest hour—where everyday reality tears open to reveal supernatural horrors. Mitchell’s journey becomes a desperate race against an ancient evil that has waited centuries for this moment. The question remains: will anything remain of Sterling Point when the darkness finally lifts?
“Erb’s Snow Black is a thrill-filled blast full of arctic chill. With a classic small town set-up and a cast of flawed but believable characters, it’s a love letter to the action-packed, gore-filled horror movies we know and love. A quick, supremely enjoyable read.” —David Moody, author of Hater, Autumn, and Shadowlocked
“Thom Erb’s Snow Black, like the winter blizzard at the novel’s heart, will blow you away. It’s old-school creature-feature horror that combines native folklore, extreme violence, realistic characters, and a killer ending, but more importantly, it’s a well-constructed story with a hell of a lot of heart. I was super impressed. Highly recommended! —Gord Rollo, author of The Jigsaw Man and The Dark Side of Heaven
