Requesting a read: Winter books.

[juushika]

I'm on a search for books set in, or with a sense of, winter. Where I live, winter means cold, bare branches, heavy rain, and ice; snow is welcome but not necessary. I'm more interested in the season's desolation and wildness than its celebration—horror, gothic literature, and the moody and atmospheric are welcome; warm firesides make welcome contrast, but transparent feel-good Christmas stories don't interest me. Fiction is a must, and I'm not fond of high fantasy; other than that, all genres are welcome.

Suggestions? Thank you!
