It could be about various things. Maybe it's set during the harsh winter months and involves a story of survival, mystery, or adventure. Without reading it, it's hard to say precisely.
The 'dead of winter novel' could potentially revolve around themes like the struggle for life in the midst of extreme cold. It might tell the tales of characters who are faced with shortages of resources, difficult living conditions, and the psychological challenges that come with being in the dead of winter. For example, it could be about a group of people trapped in a small town during a blizzard and how they deal with each other and their situation.
I don't think so. There haven't been any official announcements or indications that Winter is being transformed into a graphic novel. Usually, such projects have some buzz around them before they become a reality, and we haven't heard anything like that for Winter.
Well, 'Dead of Winter' can be based on a true story in some aspects. There are many real - life situations that could be related to it. For example, there have been cases where people got stranded in remote areas during winter and had to fight for survival. Their experiences of dealing with extreme cold, lack of food and shelter, and possible encounters with wild animals might be reflected in the 'Dead of Winter' story. Also, some historical winter expeditions gone wrong could contribute to the basis of such a story.
One possible true event could be the Donner Party incident. It was a group of American pioneers who got trapped in the Sierra Nevada mountains during winter in the 1840s. They faced extreme hardships like starvation and cold, similar to what might be depicted in 'Dead of Winter'.
