Written in 1990 but never before published, Snowman is a haunting, intimate novel of belief, loss, and the quiet strangeness of Midwestern landscapes-both external and internal. A gruesome tragedy in a distant Nebraska winter draws together an unlikely group of strangers to face, years later, the consequences of what wasn't stopped in time.Follow a cast of misfits and spiritual outsiders as bonds form, old tensions rise, and something made of grief, memory, and frost begins to stir-one part legend, one part reckoning, and far more than just a snowman.Part occult Americana, part homespun camp, Snowman leans into the eerie charm of B-movie storytelling with a straight face and a wink-complete with requisite gore, possession, and rituals teeming with tension. But beneath the séances and snowdrifts, it's about myth, found family, and the kind of magic that refuses to stay buried-no matter how frozen the ground gets. And in the cold, something hungry waits: watching, whispering, and pulling the past back up through the cracks.Rediscovered after more than three decades, Snowman reads like a time capsule cracked open-its contents strange, tender, and eerily resonant in today's world. Walsh Wettengle lives in the misty landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, where the forests and coastlines often compete for his attention. Raised on a steady diet of DC Comics, classic metal, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and 1980s horror anthologies, he's always had one foot in reality and the other in a world of imagination. When not writing, he'd rather be snoozing in a tent under the stars or listening to the waves crash against the shore with his Belgian Malinois. If an owl hoots, he will totally lose it
