Through a driving snowstorm, a carload of men with a half-dozen guns stacked across their feet grinds toward a remote destination three miles off, and the phantom that haunts the forest.

Leroy Yerxa's 1948 story opens on wintry menace, building an atmospheric fantasy and adventure tale. Vivid, eerie golden-age pulp. Read it for a story that carries its armed party into snowbound woods toward a supernatural terror lurking among the trees.
