Lights on the trees. Gifts in the stocking. Blood in the snow.
Eli Halversen never truly believed in Vinterblot, the ancient ritual his hometown holds dear. Each Christmas Eve, gifts are stuffed into the stocking that hangs from the gallows beam, a tradition meant to protect the town from the monsters that live in the mountains.
But, this year, Eli breaks the rules. He takes back what was offered.
And now, the snow is alive with bells and laughter, and impossible creatures with wide eyes and sharper teeth are coming for them all.
This year, Christmas in Dregmouth isn’t about giving. It’s about surviving. Available now in eBook and paperback, you can pick up your copy here.
