christmas eldritch family horror suspense thriller winter

*** Not a cheery, feelgood romp ***
Christmas has always been a bad holiday for the Hall sisters, Jess and Bree. There's the shopping, the meal preparation, the anniversary of their mother's descent into madness and the murder of their father.
Jess has dealt with it by keeping her head down and walking the straight and narrow. Bree, not so much. But on a cold prairie Christmas Eve, a break-in at their old house is about to unearth some bad memories, worse karma and a whole lot of insanity.All Rights Reserved

You never think something bad will happen to you or someone you know. Amber never thought she would finally move away to a new home with her family. Her parents thought they'd never get a break for the weekend. Neither of them thought Amber would disappear in the middle of the night. Now with the clock ticking and having no idea where she is, Amber is in the fight for her life and is desperate to escape her kidnappers and return home, in one piece and alive. She has no idea if they'll let her go or if even if they'll keep her alive for one more day. All she knows is that she doesn't have time to hope and pray to be saved. She has to take action and fast. Because time is running out and she only has one hope of escape, a hope that can mean her life or her death.

Sanford Crow by MikeLemieux

2022 Watty Winner || At the age of ten, Sanford Crow discovers the worst secret of all--his father is a serial killer. It was the year 1969. Sanford's dream was to grow up to be a detective. Putting his intuitions to the test, he conducts an investigation into his father. The discovery he makes brings his whole world crashing down, and to the culmination of one terrible Christmas morning. Twenty five years later, it's 1994. Sanford is a divorced and a recovering alcoholic, with an eight-year-old daughter named Sadie. His dreams of becoming a detective never came to fruition. Instead, he lives vicariously through his job of being a crime scene cleaner. As therapy begins to open up doors to his past that he'd rather keep shut, the same string of murders that his father committed when he was a child are happening again all around him. Sanford starts questioning his grip on reality. The answers he finds brings his past rushing back, and has him doubting everything he thought he knew about himself, his past, and his own sanity.
