Eight true stories that have never been solved, told slowly over rain on the roof. The letters that came to 657 Boulevard. A farmhouse fire in West Virginia on Christmas Eve, 1945. A young pilot over Bass Strait and the last thing he said on the radio. A woman with eight names, found in a valley above Bergen. Three women gone from a house in Springfield, Missouri. A student in a red parka on Vermont's Long Trail. Two men on a hill in Brazil, wearing lead masks. And a ship found sailing across the Atlantic with nobody on board. No jump scares, no loud sounds. If you drift off, the rain keeps going until the hour is up.

Eleven original horror stories about winter cabins, told slowly over rain on the roof. A cabin a mile in on snowshoes, a trapper's cabin with an iron stove, a rope to the woodshed in a whiteout, a little wooden sauna by a frozen lake, a white pine on the night of an ice storm. In the stories, it's snowing. Where you are, it's only rain. No jump scares, no loud sounds. If you drift off, the rain keeps going until the hour is up.
