    Bonechiller was a quick, but satisfying read. Our protagonist is a young man who is still dealing with the death of his mother from brain cancer. He was very close to her, and her death has sent him and his father on the run, from place to place, to escape the grief of her passing. Lately they have landed in an small town in Canada, in the deep of arctic winter. He befriends fellow travelers, military brats, Pike, Howie, and Ash. Pike and Howie are two brothers named after weapons (Howie being short for Howlitzer), and Ash is a half-Ojibwa girl who is a boxer, and Danny's crush. Danny's just taking it day to day, enduring the extreme cold, and the weight of grief that is almost too much to carry.

    Bonechiller



    Bonechiller is a fantasy-horror novel for young adults by Canadian author Graham McNamee. It is set in the fictional Canadian town of Harvest Cove, deep within the remote northern region known as the Big Empty. The sleepy and ominous town has been home for centuries to an evil creature called the Windigo, which has terrorized residents and claimed the lives of unsuspecting teenagers. The novel’s protagonist, Danny Quinn, moves with his father to Harvest Cove after the unfortunate death of his mother, in an effort to escape their melancholy. Threatened bygd the Windigo, he bands tillsammans with his new friends to understand and defeat it. Like many horror plots, the novel uses the existential threat posed by its antagonist as an allegory for its protagonist’s repressed grief and the disruption of his childhood. Quinn’s effort to kill the creature comes to symbolize overcoming the difficult experiences he and his father have tried to repress.

    Danny’s dad takes a job as caretaker at a marina on the shore of a vast, frozen lake in Harvest Cove, a tiny town tucked away in Canada’s Big Empty. If you’re looking for somewhere to hide, this is it.

    It’s the worst winter in years. One night, running in the dark, Danny is attacked by a creature so strange and terrifying he tries to convince himself he was hallucinating. Then he learns about Native American legends of a monster that’s haunted the lake for a thousand years. And that every generation, in the coldest winters, kids have disappeared into the night. People think they ran away.

    Danny knows better. Because now the beast is after him.
