An uncanny snowfall revives a cattleman's dead wife?with terrible secrets from beyond to spill like blood. A plague-like curse infects the memories of its victims, forcing them to go viral in increasingly grisly fashion. Twin sisters share a psychic link nothing can sever, not even the cold of the grave. Curiosity lures two stepbrothers into an imaginary haunted house?and the eager arms of its very real sole occupant.

Infatuations. Trespasses. Abominations. Resurrections. Jacob Steven Mohr's second volume of pitch-black fiction kicks over moss-covered rocks and shows us all the awful things that squirm beneath. In fourteen tales?including the titular "Bury Me Cold"?this collection is living, bleeding proof that when the lights go off, terror always gets the last word.
