We’re celebrating the release of Foxfire this week, a suspenseful horror by Rowan Hill!
Foxfire
Publication Date: October 10, 2023
Genre: Horror/ Suspense/ Paranormal
In a remote Finnish resort, a group of potential investors gather to enjoy the Arctic beauty and the mesmeric Northern lights. But many of the guests aren’t who they appear to be, and everyone is hiding something–from the gaudy Americans to the adventurous German and Australian couple to the quiet Yakuza and his former Geisha wife.
Owner Mattais and his skeptical daughter, Aino, have ignored family legends, dismissing the warnings of honoring their ancient forest as silly, old-fashioned traditions. But when the guests start to be picked off one by one, their blood soaked in the snow, the old tales don’t seem so far-fetched anymore. A spectre haunts the forest and the survivors must decipher who–or what–is taking revenge.
“…FOXFIRE combines all the best elements of a tense, well-paced thriller with compelling folklore and horror, all in the stark, deadly and glittering setting of the frozen north…. “
– Laurel Hightower, author of CROSSROADS and BELOW

About the Author
Rowan Hill is an Australian/ American author who has lived a little bit of everywhere. She primarily writes horror in isolated environments and feels everything is better with a creature feature. Self described as an 80s child, Rowan loves a good synth soundtrack and her hobbies include hiking mountains and traveling to far off places that she probably shouldn’t. She can be found on social media as @writerrowanhill or her website of the same name.
My thoughts: this was a suitably creepy creature feature, set in the remote Finnish forests of the Arctic.
Invited to explore an investment opportunity, in the form of a hotel with unusual glass igloos to sleep in, a group of disparate people – with previous connections, it turns out, assemble. The Aurora Borealis is high in the sky as something starts killing off the guests.
Is there an unnatural force in the forest, or is the killer among the group? If it is something other than human, what does it want?
Aino has come home to help her dad sell his hotel to the investors but she doesn’t really want to be there. Disconnected from the land her grandfather tried to teach her to love, she isn’t particularly engaged with things. But as it all starts to go horribly, terribly wrong, only she can stop this.
A mix of folklore and monster moments, as the bodies add up and the blood soaks into the snow, can Aino make it out of the forest and save the guests?
