Twas The Night
A Holiday Horrors Short Story
ChristmasHolidayGrylaKrampus
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?
Getting a Christmas tree and setting it up on Christmas Eve is the Morgan family’s favorite tradition. But this year is a little different.
A freak snow squall sends the truck careening off a winding back road, and just when Oliver thinks things are as bad as they can get, he spots something in the trees.
Is it someone coming to help, or is something about to show them what it truly means to be on the Naughty List?
Make sure you check out all of the Holiday Horrors Collection

This is my second read by Erica. I loved The Monster of Old Lincoln Road, but sadly, I didn't enjoy this story. It read more like a dark Grimms' fairytale, which isn't my cup of tea, and the ending was a bit abrupt without much explanation of a motive. This is just my opinion, and please don't let it put you off from trying it for yourself.

“Twas The Night”, featured in the Holiday Horrors collection, is an intense and gripping short story that puts a sinister twist on holiday traditions. Erica Damon turns the naughty-or-nice rule into something genuinely terrifying, keeping the tension high from start to finish. This one will definitely make you think twice about landing on the naughty list!
