You better not cry.It’s Christmas in the village of Yule, Maine.In fact, it’s always Christmas in Yule. Here, Santa Claus isn’t a storybook figure. He’s an icon. A god. The villagers don’t just believe in him—they worship him. And the world is better for it.Halley Belanger hates Christmas, and she doesn’t have much love for Santa either. But when a string of child disappearances across Maine seems to spare only the village of Yule, Halley—a sharp, skeptical reporter—decides to investigate.What she finds is a town that guards its secrets with gingerbread smiles and a snow globe sheen. Outsiders aren’t welcome. She isn’t welcome. And something sinister is keeping the Christmas spirit alive.As Halley digs deeper, she begins to uncover the horrifying truth behind Yule’s eternal cheer. Christmas comes at a grisly cost. And Santa Claus is no saint."The gleefully unhinged tale of holiday horror you've been waiting for." -ERIC LAROCCA, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

Recensioner i media

"A sucker punch of a first novel, a breakneck journey into comedy-horror gold...Whiplash plot changes, appropriately nauseating levels of gore, mouthwatering descriptions of baked goods, and undeniable humor delivered with excellent timing make this book a true pleasure to read." — Library Journal"A perfect Halloween and Christmas horror novel.” — Red Carpet Crash"Unexpected, engrossing, and ringing with a truly demented sense of wit, 'Twas the Night is the gleefully unhinged tale of holiday horror you've been waiting for. Kevin Johnson suffocates his readers in a perfectly crafted snowstorm of unflinching terror, of Yuletide fright." — Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke"Kevin Johnson has concocted a perfect blend of folk horror and fun, a yuletide Midsommar drenched in eggnog and blood. I pray we all end up on Santa's naughty list this year, because 'Twas the Night should definitely become an annual Christmas-reading tradition." — Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes"Great fun on every page. Johnson turns a cozy tableau--a snow-blanketed village, a roaring fire, warm cookies--on its head and delivers a sinister, action-packed folk horror. ‘Twas the Night comes with a nightmarish monster and characters you'll want to throw yourself in harm's way to protect." — Nicky Gonzalez, author of Mayra“A violent, kinetic supernatural action story.” — Horror Homeroom“Putting the ho-ho-ho back in horror.” — Novels Alive“Johnson has crafted a fun, thoughtful blend of horror, action, and folklore.” — Macabre Daily“The instincts here, for character, for comedy, for the wrong detail in the right place, are strong enough that I want to see what he does next.” — Ginger Nuts of Horror
