Summary
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

This Christmas, he’s making a list… and slaying everyone on it.


From John A. Russo, co-writer of Night of the Living Dead, comes a chilling holiday horror novel that will haunt your nightmares.

Albert Kinney isn’t your typical holiday enthusiast. He doesn’t deck the halls—he drenches them in blood. A cold, calculating serial killer, Albert has turned murder into an art, recording his gruesome crimes for a hidden audience on the Dark Web. This Christmas, he’s hunting fresh victims… and leaving a trail of horror across the snowy streets.

When Marie Connor, a woman escaping an abusive marriage, meets the charming “Joe Ward,” she believes she’s found a second chance at love. But behind his seductive smile lurks a monster, and when she disappears, detectives Lenita Ramos and Dave Carlson are left piecing together the mystery. Their only clue? A grainy surveillance image of a man who seems to vanish like a ghost.

Meanwhile, Albert has his next victim in sight—Janelle Horner, Marie’s best friend and the woman who unknowingly led her to her fate. But Janelle’s death is only part of his holiday plan. A horror convention called The Christmas Slay Festival is in town, and for Albert, it’s a killer’s playground. Among the masked fans, gore-obsessed collectors, and Scream Queens, he finds the perfect cover—and the perfect hunting ground.

As the body count rises and time runs out, Ramos and Carlson must stop a killer who hides in plain sight—a man who lives for the thrill of murder and the spectacle of fear.

Will they uncover his identity before Christmas turns into a massacre?

The cover art was kinda cool. And thus ends the positive portion of this review. This book was truly awful. No one loves John Russo as much as John Russo. This book is littered, and I use that word accurately, with nods to Russo's directorial efforts. You might want a Christmas horror story. What you'll get is Russo reminding you that he's directed low budget horror movies that you've never heard of. He'll try to convince you that they were horror classics within this story. Putting it in your book doesn't make it so.I ts a short book, but seems far too long. It's scattered as he'll and ridiculously unfocused for the short run time. The AI narration makes it so much worse. Common words are mispronounced so often, it makes me wonder if Russo didn't run his draft through spell check. I regret wasting a credit on this and would never purchase another Russo book. Stay away from this hot mess.
