Out on the moor, in the snow, a house stands beneath a pylon.
It is a house full of memories, and full of old things. And, in the dark, when the pylon sings in the wind, it is a house full of ghosts and fading memories . . .
The house, Kirkhill, has a new occupant - just moved in, fresh from a bitter divorce and looking for a fresh start. The moor is the perfect place for it: isolated, beautiful in the changing seasons, peaceful, and with just enough of the previous owners belongings that it's a perfectly self-contained and cosy home.
Only as nights start to draw in, and the weather takes a turn, so does the house. The cosy isolation becomes menacing, animals begin acting strangely, and it seems someone could be watching the house. Soon, the diaries of the previous owners begin to reveal a terrible tragedy which befell Kirkhill - one which its new occupant may be unable to escape . . .
***
A beautiful, gripping read for fans of Piranesi and The Winter Ghosts, this is a beautiful yet haunting ghost story for a frosty day.

Recensioni della critica
A chillingly atmospheric modern folk-horror, where the search for lost time is a deeply unnerving ghost story. A haunting tale of the frighteningly spectral nature of human consciousness
Sleepers in the Snow is a contemporary classic of the spectral, as haunting as it is haunted. From insidious eeriness it progresses through uncanny dread to terror rooted in folk tradition and the psychological, culminating in a devastating revelation. Beautifully constructed and narrated with elegant deftness, it's a first-rate addition to the literature of the supernatural, and it enriches the field
Harris spins a masterful and enigmatic tale of psychological suspense. Harris ramps up the menace at a pitch-perfect pace, setting the stage for a big reveal that's surprising, plausible, and unexpectedly poignant. This melancholy ghost story is a bona fide tour de force
I adored this haunting ghost story about memory, confusion and the loneliness of illness.
Authentic and empathic
Unsettling, but in a wonderfully creepily quiet way
So wise, so atmospheric, so beautifully written
