It happens each winter, and has for over 35 years. Every time the snow starts to fall late in the evening before a school day, the dreams begin again for Billy Stone. They are always the same – there’s a dark tunnel, and there’s blood, lots of blood, and someone is screaming.

In this chilling childhood tale, Billy, recounts the events of one unforgettable day in 1975. On that day, he and his friends played carefree in the snow, until an adventure gone awry left him far from home, staring death in the face, and running from a killer bent on keeping a horrible secret.

Set in a time before Amber Alerts, when horror stories were told around camp fires instead of on the nightly news, Snow Day is a blend of nostalgia and nightmare that makes us question if the good old days were really as good as we remember.

From a new voice in dark fiction comes a thriller about an idyllic childhood turned horrifying; a cautionary tale about how losing sight of the difference between feeling safe and being safe can lead to deadly consequences.

We teens of the 70's were kept in the dark. Either it was our parents not wanting to think about it (their own magical thinking-not me, not my kid) or the general media's attempt to make news palatable. Not like today, where the first to get the graphic film and juicy details is rewarded.

I know I raised my kids differently. Both born in the 90's, they were not granted as many freedoms as their peers. I was the bad guy to blame. I also told them that not everyone is alike. They went with me to do volunteer work as kids. When things were stolen from their cubbies at school, we would attempt to right their wrongs, but we also talked about why someone might try to take something that was not theirs...We talked about why people pick on other people and girls are bad to clique up and hurt someone. How to be smart without being the egghead, and talented yet still humble, and beautiful but still approachable. MOST OF ALL I taught them to be a little wary. Keep friends close when out in the real world. Cell Phone, Triple A card and a credit card for emergency use, plus having a designated lead for trips to concerts, bars, nights out. If someone could spike your drink, this is the person watching your back. If there is any doubt about you getting home safely, then Mom would rather get a call to come pick you up at 3:00 a.m. or be billed for a night at a motel than go through loss or injury of her child. This is in effect until Mom is 95.

For all my parent's denials, I had classmates raped, killed in car accidents, commit suicide, in domestic violence, with substance abuse issues and I got a good look at Gay and Lesbian issues as an arts student in the 80's. (Let's all come out just in time for AIDS to make others afraid to be around us.)

No...we did not have it easier. We did not know the traumas we had ahead. Maybe if we had a clue we would not need so many shrinks and prozac.

Dan Maurer's short novel grew from a question that, so he tells us, snowballed in his mind: "Did I have an idyllic childhood?" And if so, how far away was he from the chill tendrils of darkness that sometimes drag us down into the deep?

"Snow Day" is the story of Billy, a ten-year-old who discovers another child standing next to a fresh corpse, battered beyond recognition. He just wanted to play...

Billy finds himself thrust into a mad struggle for survival, on the coldest and darkest of days. As in Silent Hill, the comforts of quiet suburbia suddenly transform, becoming twisted and unfamiliar. Will he survive this snow day?

Nostalgic quick read about a ten-year-old boy and an incident in his not-so-idyllic childhood. Read it in one go on a train journey and it passed the time away nicely

“Snow and adolescence are the only problems that disappear if you ignore them long enough.” Earl Wilson
The above quote appears just before the prologue of SNOW DAY: A NOVELLA, right after Billy Stone’s hand drawn map of his neighborhood in about 1975 when he was ten years old. It’s not quite accurate. The snow eventually disappeared but Billy wasn’t yet an adolescent nor did the problem disappear. He moved on, but the day haunted him for years. In the book, he tells the story of a particular day as he saw it then and as he looked back in retrospect.
When he was 10 years old in 1976, Billy wanted to do what his older brother and his friends did. They were a grown up 14 and had privileges, especially being able to cross the street to play on another block. They also fought against neighborhood bullies. Tommy, a boy Billy’s age, was different and just wanted to have friends, especially Billy who seemed more accepting.
SNOW DAY tells what happened on one momentous day when the desire to prove himself led Billy into several situations including finding the body of a young boy in a basement, hitching on to the back of a car in order to body ski, getting involved in an car/bus accident, hiding from the police, meeting up with a strange man, and, most serious at that point, getting into trouble with his mother because he was late for dinner.
Well-written and somewhat gripping, Dan Maurer puts us into Billy’s mind as he relates the experiences of the day. He then reexamines it thirty seven years later after someone comments., “We had an idyllic childhood.” As the grown up Billy says, “After all, we live in a different, more frightening world today; more care is required. In short, it’s more dangerous than it was when we were kids...isn’t it?” “I began to wonder, was it truly the way we remember it? Or, to put it another way, is it the lens through which we view our past that makes it seem idyllic and not necessarily the times in which we actually lived.?”
“But the other, darker truth is this: despite the warm memories we hold courtesy of the loving community that bore us, we were never far from danger while we played on or off the block, never far from being the boy in the cellar. No one ever is; not then, not now. In those days we just chose to close our eyes to it. It was easier and more comforting that way. The blindness set us free.”

I was not sure what I was getting with Snow Day but I was expecting a short little scary story with a storybook ending...... not even close. This is a much too realistic story of a ten year old boy who was thrust into a nightmare not of his making. I was having some remembrances of Mystic River,  The Lady in White  and a one of An American Werewolf In London (no there are no werewolves in this book). It was shocking, engrossing and terrible with an ending that while far from happy ever after was satisfying for the reader and probably will make you remember it everytime it snows.

There is not a lot I can add to this without telling too much since this story is short (approx 100 pages) and it starts with a slap on the face then backs things up a bit. You are lulled into a typical northern snow day away from school before things take a horrible turn. This is a great story packed into these 100 pages and I highly recommend you read it.
