The Book of the Snowstorm was a short story anthology released in 2023 by Arcbeatle Press. Officially an installment of the Coloth series, it also featured stories crossing over with multiple other series both DWU and otherwise, serving to spotlight "the worlds of Arcbeatle Press", all linked together by a framing device by editor Aristide Twain which properly centred on the core Coloth cast.

Publisher's summary

Six months ago, a forest planet was the only world Coloth of the Ulk-Ra had ever known. He had never heard of books, or humans, or Christmas. Then he was killed. Then he was brought back. And then he made some friends. Now he lives somewhere outside Time and Space, where an ancient guild of Bookkeepers tends to an impossible Library whose shelves hold every book ever written.

When a mysterious, unceasing Snowstorm traps five people inside a single room of the Library, his human friends included, Coloth must journey beyond anything he’s ever known to find a way back to them. Meanwhile, snowed in at the Library with a stuffy snail, a mad nun, and a man who gives every appearance of being their worst enemy, Maritsa and Callum must beseech the books themselves for help — but why does the Library seem so determined to tell them stories of hope unceasing and holiday cheer?

The Book of the Snowstorm features over twenty original tales from the worlds of Arcbeatle Press, by L. Alves, Erika de Atayde, Nate Bumber, Elodie Christian, Ismaeel Clarke, Ryan Fogarty, Ostara Gale, Peter Guy, James Hornby, Katherine MacEachern, Lena Mactíre, Theta Mandel, Charles E.P. Murphy, Hunter O'Connell, Callum Phillpott, Scott Sanford, Micah K. Spurling, Aristide Twain, Thien Valdram, Henry Walker and James Wylder.
