Holy shit this was so much fun. The Werner family were supposed to celebrate Christmas in a home that has a gruesome past. The parents ignore all the huge red flags and try to have a nice time, which unfortunately for them their Christmas becomes a bloody nightmare. This is the first title I've read by Brian McAuley and I'll definitely read anything he writes from now on. Anyone who's a fan of slasher films should check this out.
