## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Arctic winter, perpetual dark. A rusted ice auger lies half-buried.

Four students bore into permafrost; a mammoth corpse, intact, stares back. The thaw releases something older than thaw itself, hungrier than hunger.

Mark A. Lewis’s eco-horror creaks with practical effects and cold sweat.

**Mood tags**: dread, raw
