This short little novella packs quite a punch!

Just in time for Christmas, this is a story about a Yuletide tradition that is a total horror show.  It’s a story about a man saved from addiction, his quest to find his sponsor before a snowstorm descends, and the secret ritual he finds in an abandoned coal mine.

I have read two other books by indie author Shade Owens and she is always a five-star read!

Thanks to Book Sirens for an arc of this novella – publishing December 1.  They’re the folks who introduced me to some of my favorite new-to-me authors!
