DONNERS OF THE DEAD by Karina Halle
Horror Fiction, Romance
Publication date: February 24th 2014
Cover designed by Naj Qamber Designs
The daughter of a Norwegian Viking and a Finnish
Moomin, Karina Halle grew up in Vancouver, Canada with trolls and
eternal darkness on the brain. This soon turned into a love of all
things that go bump in the night and a rather sadistic appreciation for
freaking people out. Like many of the flawed characters she writes,
Karina never knew where to find herself and has dabbled in acting,
make-up artistry, film production, screenwriting, photography, travel
writing and music journalism. She eventually found herself in the pages
of the very novels she wrote (if only she had looked there to begin
with).
Karina holds a screenwriting degree from Vancouver Film School and a Bachelor of Journalism from TRU. Her travel writing, music reviews/interviews and photography have appeared in publications such as Consequence of Sound, Mxdwn and GoNomad Travel Guides. She currently lives on an island on the coast of British Columbia where she's preparing for the zombie apocalypse with her fiance and rescue pup.

Jake McGraw was unlike anyone I’d ever known. He was brash,
rude, unapologetic and arrogant; chauvinistic, close-minded, and
terribly stubborn. He was built like a tree, tall with a hard chest and
wide shoulders and hands that looked like they could wrestle a bear. He
was a cigar-chomping, scruffy-faced, beast of a man. I was pretty sure
I hated him. And I know he hated me. But among the flesh-eating
monsters in these snow-capped mountains, he was the only thing keeping
me alive
The year is 1851 and pioneers in search of California gold are still afraid to travel on the same route as the tragic Donner party did years before. When the last wagon train to go into the Sierra Nevada mountains fails to arrive at their destination, Eve Smith, an 18-year old half-native girl with immense tracking skills is brought along with the search party, headed by an enigmatic former Texas Ranger, Jake McGraw.
What they find deep in the dangerous snow-covered terrain is a terrifying consequence of cannibalism, giving new meaning to the term “monster.” While the search party is slowly picked off, one by one, Eve must learn to trust Jake, who harbors more than a few secrets of his own, in order to survive and prevent the monstrosities from reaching civilization.
