Overview

From BESTSELLING author Lance Coots comes a holiday horror that will make you rethink every Christmas tradition. The Shining meets Krampus in... THE 12 DAYS OF HORROR Some gifts should never be opened. The Morrison family wanted the perfect Christmas. What they got was a fight for survival. David Morrison had it all planned: twelve magical days at his lakeside cabin on the snow-dusted banks of Lake Cumberland. His oldest child Michael made the drive from up north with his soon to be wife Aera. Along with David's parents, and sister Sarah, all would be sharing laughs around the fire place. His wife and two twin girls bundled up for hot cocoa, board games, and memories that would last a lifetime. Twelve days of laughter, love, and togetherness. The Morrison family's own version of ""The 12 Days of Christmas."" Then the blizzard hit. Then the gifts started arriving. Trapped by mountains of snow with no way out, the Morrisons discover someone-something-is watching from the frozen woods. Each morning brings a new present on their doorstep, wrapped in black paper and tied with blood-red bows. A partridge. Two turtle doves. Three French hens... But these aren't the gifts from the carol. Each delivery is more twisted than the last. More sinister. More deadly. And the family soon realizes they're pawns in a witch's twisted holiday game with rules they don't understand and stakes they can't imagine. Twelve days until Christmas. Twelve horrifying gifts. One family's desperate fight to survive the season. As the body count rises and trust begins to fracture, the Morrisons must uncover who-or what-is behind the nightmare before the final gift arrives on Christmas morning. Because this year, the only thing under the tree... might be them. Warning: You'll never look at Christmas carols the same way again. THE MORRISON FAMILY SURVIVAL GUIDE: 12 Days to Christmas... or Death Rule #1: Always keep the fireplace burning. Santa isn't the only thing that comes down chimneys. Rule #2: Check the advent calendar together each morning. If a door opens on its own, board up that day. Rule #3: Sing carols as a family every evening. Silence invites unwanted guests. Rule #4: Never leave children alone with The Elf On A Shelf. Rule #5: Keep the gingerbread house on the kitchen table where everyone can see it. If it moves, everyone runs. Rule #6: String popcorn garland together. Count every piece. If the number changes, recount your family members. Rule #7: Bake cookies daily. The smell of vanilla and cinnamon masks the scent of fear. Rule #8: Watch Christmas movies together every night. The TV must never show static... or faces you don't recognize. Rule #9: Hold hands during grace at every meal. If someone's hand feels too cold, don't let go-and don't look up. Rule #10: Wrap presents as a family. If you find one you didn't wrap, burn it immediately. Rule #11: Read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' aloud each evening. If the words change, stop reading and lock the doors. Rule #12: Stay together until Christmas morning. The family that survives together, stays together. Failure to comply will result in consequences.
