A winter storm ravages a small community in New England, but the residents of one street are unprepared for what the snow brings: an ancient curse, an entity that knows both their sins and their regrets and will stop at nothing to consume what belongs to it.
When John Stephenson peers out of his window on a Tuesday morning, he sees nothing but clear, gray skies hovering above the houses on his staid suburban street, but the next 48 hours will prove to be a waking nightmare from which John and his neighbors cannot escape. As the first flakes fall, the whispering begins. A woman walking her dog leans into the sidewalk as though something buried beneath speaks to her.
As the storm grows in ferocity, each of the residents hear the storm calling.
What it says, however, few may survive to repeat.

"Tightly and meticulously plotted, Eminence Front blends the polyphonic character-focused horror of King with a genuinely chilling cosmic-horror presence. Rowland's writing is an absolute joy to read, and I highly recommend this deceptively short novel for anyone looking for a shivery page-turner in the winter months."
—Ally Wilkes, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of All the White Spaces
"Eminence Front is a frightful tale of winter horror guaranteed to send icy shivers of fear creeping up your spine. Rebecca Rowland has crafted a disturbing story filled with engaging characters that will leave you chilled to the bone and begging for more."
—Owl Goingback, Bram Stoker Award-winning author
“In Rebecca Rowland’s Eminence Front, bad weather makes people do even worse things, or so it seems. A haunting, claustrophobic glimpse into the apparently idyllic lives of some very damaged folks during an epic New England blizzard, where a single whisper can be enough to shatter their lives.”
—John Palisano, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Requiem and Ghost Heart
“Dark and turbulent, twisting horror at its finest; Eminence Front latches onto the reader, slowly, inexorably, filling one with fright and with admiration of author Rebecca Rowland’s skill for crafting wicked tales.”
—Eric J. Guignard, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of That Which Grows Wild and Doorways to the Deadeye
