"Down From Ten is a brilliant, sometimes creepy take on a bohemian cozy with surreal underpinnings and an irrepressibly touching ending." -Gail Carriger, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Parasol Protectorate series In early January, a group of friends gather for an annual retreat: eight artists, scientists, and authors cloistered together in a mansion in California's high country for ten days of games, conversation, exhibition, and hedonism while isolated from the outside world. The biggest Sierra snowstorm in over twenty years, however, is not part of their plans. When the house is buried in an avalanche, leaving our heroes with no way to hike out, they must somehow survive and stay sane while waiting for rescue-which becomes difficult when they all start having the same dream.
