The Christmas Massacre

By John Russo

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?
