12 Days of Misery

Christmas. A time of peace, joy, and good will to all, right? Not this time.

After tragedy strikes, Eric offers a helping hand to an old family friend and reluctantly agrees to look after her college student daughter, Cassie, over the winter break. A run-down motel in rural Minnesota isn't exactly how Cassie had planned to spend the festive season, but it could always be worse - if, say, she discovered a body in the trunk of her guardian's car, only to realize the body is actually alive, non-human and seemingly impossible to kill.

Over the next couple of weeks, Cassie joins Eric in tracking down rogue Christmas beasts across the state, leading all the way to the patriarch of the winter's monsters himself.
