🗒️ BLURB 🗒️

Imagine waking up surrounded by ice. Imagine finding yourself alone with a stranger who controls what you do and where you go. That is the reality for Peter.

He remembers nothing of his old life and nothing of the man named Faraday. All Peter has is questions, and he might not like the answers.

Short Story by bestselling author, Iain Rob Wright.

🌟Review (4/5) 🌟

‘I is for Ice’ does a great job of creating suspense as the end of the world serves as a backdrop for isolating two people on the verge of extinction.

Once again, the author creates a steady increase of thrill by going through the story from Peter’s point of view. He had just awoken from a cryosleep with no memory aside from his name. He’s given the short history lesson of what had occurred with humanity during all those years he was asleep by the only other person in the facility – the doctor who woke him up. The steady revelations one after another create a gripping story concluded by a worrying open ending.

You can read this excellent short story in the book called A-Z of Horror found on Amazon. It’s free to read through Kindle Unlimited!
