When the Gordon Family opens their door to a stray Elkhound, they unwittingly welcome the forces of evil. According to the local priest, the huge dog is Satan himself, fulfilling an ancient prophecy.

But, no one will believe this warning...

Even when sheep, and then wolves, are mysteriously slaughtered.

Even when frenzied pets turn on their owners. Even when Emily Forrest is savagely eaten alive - the first of many human victims.

As winter tightens its icy grip on the remote town of Kane, its unprotected people must face an unearthly terror.

Above is the original text from the rear cover of Cliff's book.

This was the first of Cliff's books to be accepted by Hammer Film Studios to be made into a big-screen horror movie, along with Cliff's other book, The Pike.

Fortunately, and more importantly, the reason it was never made was not a reflection of the book. It was entirely because of the financial challenges Hammer Films suddenly faced, issues so severe that they caused their unexpected and rapid decline.

Today, with the renewed interest in this genre of movies, perhaps we will see it on the big movie screens, as Cliff had once envisioned.
