Winter is over. Survival has only changed shape.
The deadly flies are gone, but nature doesn't stop moving. In rural Wisconsin, the next link in the food chain appears-spiders drawn to what's been left behind.
When the activity outside becomes too much to ignore, Nick and his family leave their home and stumble onto safety in a stranger's bunker. Underground, food and shelter aren't the only challenges. Privacy disappears. Tempers flare. And trust is a fragile thing when every decision could mean life or death.
To make it through the season, they must learn how to live alongside strangers without letting fear, suspicion, or grief tear them apart.
The tense conclusion to Waiting Out Winter-a blend of apocalyptic fiction, eco-horror, and psychological suspense about adaptation, connection, and the human cost of survival.
