Following the unexpected death of his wife, Kat, Ben Parker moves from Florida to rural New York. He comes in search of a connection to his remaining family and in pursuit of Kat's lost dreams. What he finds instead is an ancient and hungry evil that threatens to devour everything he loves.

Ice Eater is a 60K word horror novel. I'm nearly complete, but need to smooth out a few wrinkles in the second half. The first half is linked below. The story is rooted in place rather than time and the narrative switches often, from modern day, to 1018AD, to 1895, to the dawn of time. I'd love to hear any feedback you have on this piece.
