New York Times bestselling author Christopher Golden’s supernatural thriller about a mountain adventure that quickly turns into a horrific nightmare of biblical proportions.
Fans of Dan Simmons’ The Terror will love Ararat, the thrilling tale of an adventure that goes awry. When a newly engaged couple climbs Mount Ararat in Turkey, an avalanche forces them to seek shelter inside a massive cave uncovered by the snow fall. The cave is actually an ancient, buried ship that many quickly come to believe is really Noah’s Ark. When a team of scholars, archaeologists, and filmmakers make it inside the ark for the first time, they discover an elaborate coffin in its recesses. The artifact tempts their professional curiosity; so they break it open. Inside, they find an ugly, misshapen cadaver—not the holy man that they expected, a hideous creature with horns. A massive blizzard blows in, trapping them in that cave thousands of meters up the side of a remote mountain…but they are not alone.

There’s something truly terrifying about blizzards in general but add in some randomly discovered coffin with a horned creature inside?
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

Wow! Great discovery. I just added this to my TBR. I think horror books in winter/snowy settings can be downright scary and this one sounds great. I think I’ve read a book or two by Christopher Golden in the past and liked them. Thanks for sharing this one!

This sounds so familiar but when I checked on Goodreads it wasn’t on my shelf yet. I think there is a book coming out by Sarah Lotz with a very similar story and cover. Definitely adding this, I love Christopher Golden!
