Two hundred miles north of the town of Basco sits The Border. It's a quiet, off-the-grid settlement, where the residents have developed a tentative agreement with those that live on the other side of the clearing.

But things are about to change forever.

As night falls, a teenage girl is brutally murdered as she flees across the clearing.

Now, it's up to Basco PD officers Brown and Reynolds to find her killer.

But the truth is far worse than they could possibly imagine, and the more the officers uncover, the bolder the things beyond the clearing grow.

'Under an icy snowfall...'

'Under a clear, blue moon...'

North of The Border lies a land unseen by man. A land where things are ready and waiting... to feed.

"A harrowing ride into Arctic horror and a lot of fun to read, CHURN THE SOIL combines police procedural, folk horror, survival horror, and plenty of heart to create a surefire pleaser for horror fans."
