About this listen

The Cold creeps in…

All her life, Sally Washington has kept a dark secret: every half-century, her family is summoned by a disturbing entity known as the Visitor and forced to endure a cruel ritual. Two decades since her last encounter and contentedly married in her twilight years, Sally believed she would never experience such horrors again—until, unannounced, a new ritual begins.

The Door takes shape…

Herbert, Sally’s devoted husband, knows nothing of the rite that has been passed down like a curse through his wife’s bloodline, but must now face the grim truth.

The Static gathers…

As the ritual intensifies, malign influences transform the couple’s home into a frozen nightmare, fraught with danger and dreadful revelations.

The Visitor grows near…

Terrified but united by the love they share, time ticks closer to the ritual’s crescendo, when Sally and Herbert will finally confront the Visitor…and face the most hideous decision imaginable.

The Cold Visitor marks a departure for Jonathan Butcher, and sees him moving capably away from the extreme and into the cosmic.

This book had me completely invested in the characters from the very beginning. Each one felt real and well-developed, making it easy to connect with their struggles and triumphs. The pacing of the story was spot-on—unfolding at just the right speed, revealing crucial details and developments at perfect intervals. It kept me engaged without ever feeling rushed or drawn out.

A thoroughly enjoyable read that kept me thinking long after I turned the final page.

Herbert. I loved everything about him!
