“Dead of Winter is an exceptionally well crafted horror novel that tells a gripping story of dark religious doings, a horrific serial killer, and a sympathetic Inspector, in a dark and fascinating historical setting of 19th century Canada. The atmospherics are outstanding and the story offers plenty of surprises right up to its shocking and violent conclusion. Highly recommended.”
— Douglas Preston,
New York Times bestselling co-author of The Monster of Florence and Cold Vengeance
"A major new talent."

Thanks for visiting my website and welcome to my dark imagination. My name is Brian Moreland and I write novels that bridge real history with mystery and supernatural horror.
My upcoming novel, DEAD OF WINTER, is an epic mystery based on a real Native American legend and an unexplained epidemic that broke out at a fur-trading fort over a 100 years ago that turned the colonists ravenous. The novel is set on the Canadian frontier in 1870 during the fur trade. Here is a brief description:
A predator stalks the frozen woods.
At a fort deep in the Ontario wilderness in 1870, a ghastly predator is attacking colonists and spreading a gruesome plague—his victims turn into ravenous cannibals with an unending hunger for human flesh. Inspector Tom Hatcher has faced a madman before, when he tracked down Montreal’s infamous Cannery Cannibal. But can even he stop the slaughter this time?
In Montreal exorcist Father Xavier visits an asylum where the Cannery Cannibal is imprisoned. But the killer who murdered thirteen women is more than just a madman who craves human meat. He is possessed by a shape-shifting demon. Inspector Hatcher and Father Xavier must unravel a mystery that has spanned centuries and confront a predator that has turned the frozen woods into a killing ground where evil has come to feed.

My first novel, Shadows in the Mist, is based on real evidence I gathered about the Nazis facination with the Occult and the bloody battle of the Hurtgen Forest. You can see photos of my research on this site.
In the supernatural horror novel, follow Lt. Jack Chambers' platoon into the foggy woods of Nazi Germany during World War II. A top-secret mission behind enemy lines turns into two days of terror and survival as Lt. Chambers' platoon fights tooth and nail against an unspeakable horror that is stalking both American and German soldiers.
Shadows in the Mist won a gold medal for Best Horror Novel in the 2007 IPPY Awards. It also hit #1 on Amazon's Bestselling Mysteries and Thrillers list.

"Brian Moreland's Shadows in the Mist is a smashing debut of a major new talent. Combining Masonic history, mysticism, and Nordic rune-lore, Moreland's tale of a world at war is equal parts horror story and spine-jangling thriller."
— New York Times best-selling author James Rollins, Map of Bones and Black Order
“Band of Brothers meets The Da Vinci Code. Brian Moreland weaves together the best elements of military, supernatural and religious conspiracy genres, staking out a new territory all his own.”
—T.L. Hines, author of Waking Lazarus
“A rocket-paced mystery about occult-obsessed Nazis. Classic good vs. evil action in this page turner!”
— Joseph P. Farrell, author of Reich of the Black Sun
“Shadows in the Mist is probably one of the best books I've read this year.”
—Horror Bob, The Horror Review
