Waiting Out Winter The Hatch: The Complete Two-Part Story

Two seasons. Two threats. One family's fight to endure. In Waiting Out Winter, a state-run plan to control a tent worm infestation backfires, unleashing deadly biting flies across rural Wisconsin. As winter drives the infected insects into hibernation, one family faces months of isolation, dwindling supplies, and unimaginable loss-waiting to see if the cold will kill the flies... or them. In The Hatch, spring brings a shift in nature's balance. Spiders arrive to feed on what's been left behind, pushing the family from their home and into the safety of a stranger's bunker. Underground, survival means more than finding food and shelter-it means learning to live with strangers when fear and grief are already pressing in from all sides. A complete duology of apocalyptic fiction, eco-horror, and psychological suspense, Waiting Out Winter & The Hatch delivers an intimate portrait of small-town survival, resilience, and the fragile hope that endures even in the harshest seasons.
