Summary

"It's Christmas day in the morning, and all is calm, all is bright. Or is it? Peter and his young niece Alice are unwrapping presents when they first hear a sound, long and loud and wrong, somehow. The kind of sound that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stir. The kind of sound that is a harbinger to grief, and suffering. Screams, coming from next door. Peter finds his teenaged neighbour cowering, terrified and blood-soaked in her hallway. Her mom and dad are nowhere to be seen. When he eventually discovers them --or what is left of them-- he wishes he hadn't. Because someone, or something, has butchered the Morris family, and made peculiar festive decorations with their remains. Deranged killer, or something else entirely? Whatever it is, it came down the chimney... And it's killing spree is just getting started. Can Peter keep Alice safe? Or will they end up the same grisly ornamenets on a blood-soaked tree? This quick, pacy horror creature feature from Bram Stoker and British Fantasy Award nominated author Gemma Amor is the perfect festive bite-sized treat for fans of Predator and Krampus, and is the ideal stocking filler for fans of the macabre, the weird and the downright creepy." - Via Goodreads

👹 Final Review

This book is as if The Mist took place on Christmas morning. There were some truly gorey scenes. It was short so you can read it in one seeting by the Christmas tree. It was bloody and terrifying and I am certianly never going to look at my chimney the same way again.
