Twas the Night: A Novel
[ MP3 CD Format ]
"A yuletide Midsommar drenched in eggnog and blood." -CLAY MCLEOD CHAPMAN, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
A young reporter follows a string of disappearances into the middle of a terrifying Christmas cult inspired by our favorite holiday classics.
You better watch out. You better not cry.
It's Christmas in the village of Yule, Maine.
In fact, it's always Christmas in Yule. Here, Santa Claus isn't a storybook figure. He's an icon. A god. The villagers don't just believe in him -- they worship him. And the world is better for it.
Halley Belanger hates Christmas, and she doesn't have much love for Santa either. But when a string of child disappearances across Maine seems to spare only the village of Yule, Halley -- a sharp, skeptical reporter -- decides to investigate.
What she finds is a town that guards its secrets with gingerbread smiles and a snow globe sheen. Outsiders aren't welcome. She isn't welcome. And something sinister is keeping the Christmas spirit alive.
As Halley digs deeper, she begins to uncover the horrifying truth behind Yule's eternal cheer. Christmas comes at a grisly cost. And Santa Claus is no saint.
"The gleefully unhinged tale of holiday horror you've been waiting for." -ERIC LAROCCA, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
