Welcome to Holiday Horrors, a multi-author collection of standalone thriller and horror short stories. In this series, you'll question whether Christmas is about Santa's Sleigh..... or Santa's Slay. What holiday nightmares keep you up at night?‘The voice that was denied will become the silence that ends the song.’
Christmas, 1988. San Diego.
Detective Darius Jackson thought he'd seen the city at its darkest - until the killings began again.
Fourteen years ago, Leonard Cale, the man the press called The Choirboy, vanished after his choirboys were found dead, their lives stolen to complete a twisted hymn. Now, just days before Christmas, new murders echo those old crimes with chilling precision.
The evidence points to Cale. But Cale should be long dead.
As bodies mount and carols turn sinister, Darius is pulled into a dangerous hunt that blurs the line between copycat and unfinished symphony. With every clue, he's drawn deeper into a performance only one man was meant to hear... a finale written in blood.
And when the music stops, Darius will discover the killer's last act isn't murder. It's something far worse.
THE FINAL CAROL - a haunting holiday thriller where the season of peace becomes a stage for madness.
