Charlie Briggs is a thief. And usually a pretty good one. But he’s met his match this time. Instead of coal in his stocking he gets something else. Something horrifying.

This is a novella. This is historical fiction. This is set at Christmas. This is a book about a book. All of those things sound wonderful. However, this book falls squarely in horror. Yikes. I’m not going to go into any detail about this tale that kept my fingers and eyes glued to the pages. Not literally. Thank the Book Gods. This is a story that really needs to be experienced without me mucking it up for you. So, if you like some horror with your Christmas then do not pass this up. Seriously.
