48 Cold-Weather Novels for Thrills and Chills

"Some people, believe it or not, actually like cold weather. They're entitled to their insane opinions, of course. But here at Goodreads World Headquarters, we like to keep our chills strictly literary. Reading about cold weather is way better than actually dealing with it.

We dug deep into the archives for this one, gathering up 48 winter-weather mysteries, thrillers, and horror novels. Some are relatively new, some go back a few years, but all of them are appropriate for Mother Nature's most questionable creation: winter.

This specially curated collection features some stone-cold (heh) classics from genre aces like Stephen King, Agatha Christie, Peter Straub, and Seishi Yokomizo."
