In the aftermath of a brutal snowstorm, a small, sleepy town becomes the stage for a mystery that will send shivers down your spine. Four curious kids - Ethan, Clara, Max, and Lily - stumble upon a sleigh parked in the middle of their neighborhood park. Its crimson paint gleams, its golden trim sparkles, and yet, something about it feels wrong. There are no tracks in the snow, no sign of where it came from. What starts as a playful Christmas adventure quickly spirals into a nightmare.

Transported to a twisted North Pole, they find themselves in a version of Santa’s workshop unlike any story they’ve ever heard. Gone are the cheerful lights and merry elves of holiday legend. Instead, the workshop is a dark, mechanical labyrinth powered by grinding gears and sinister magic. The elves are no longer helpers - they’re terrifying, malevolent beings who obey only the cruel master of this a sinister Santa who punishes the "naughty" in ways no one could imagine.

As the children navigate this chilling holiday story, they discover that the workshop has rules - brutal ones - and failure means becoming part of the workshop’s eternal workforce. Each challenge they face draws them closer to the heart of the workshop’s dark power, where they must confront its horrifying truth. Will they escape this Christmas horror, or will they join the ranks of the lost souls trapped forever?

I listened to this via audiobook. It was read by Virtual Voice. I will say that if this was read by an actual person, it would have been much more scarier than it was supposed to be. The story was ok. A bit childish and not much imagination. Too simple of a plot, not much origin of the bad guy.
