Thin Air by Michelle Paver

3.0

A unique setting and excellent premise, combining elements of extreme isolation, altitude sickness and the effects of pushing the human body to its limits with a traditional ghost story. The plot is executed with a very slow pace and I didn't experience too much dread until right before the excellent conclusion. Also, it is important to be aware this is a story about mountaineering (and the personalities and egos of those on the expedition) with a supernatural element, rather than the other way around. However, some well crafted, subtle spooks make this a recommendation for fans of slow-burn horror.
