Frigid Horror Fiction: The Cool Out

Anyone else in need of some chilling horror fiction with appropriate cover art to fend off the coming summertime blues? I've said before that freezing temperatures and blinding snow are settings for great horror. Two classic tales from the first half of the 20th century, At the Mountains of Madness and "Who Goes There?", help prove my point, while two classics of the vintage era, The Shining and Ghost Story, nearly secure it. But wait - there's more. Ahh, that's the stuff.

    Doug, I've never seen that one, but it's the Brit publication of Campbell's story. Don't see a whole lot of UK editions here in the States.

    Love the blog by the way. And I completely agree. Especially with The Shining, it was pure brilliance and true horror.
