Definitely atmospheric...black and white always helps.
A compact, effective story...that completes itself.

The(ir) Blurb...
Late 19th century in the challenging Vermont hills. Ruth and her aging parents struggle to subsist on a failing farm after Ruth is abandoned by an unfaithful husband. They turn to a remedy as old as the hills, a potion that allows the elderly and infirm to sleep out the winter months while frozen and packed in snow, to be safely revived in the spring. Ruth faces the prospect of surviving the winter on her own. When a storm blows in an early thaw, the ritual is broken and the sleepers wake too soon, awakening a monstrous appetite in Ruth's father. Will Ruth be able to do what it takes to survive?
