Seen by Santa

Every winter, the disappearances begin.

No bodies. No evidence. Just abandoned homes and one terrifying detail no one in town dares to say out loud.

They saw him.

For generations, the people of Hollow Creek have whispered about a figure in red who appears during the first heavy snowfall. He never speaks. He never runs. He simply stands in the distance... watching.

And anyone who sees him disappears.

Seventeen-year-old Lena Hart never believed the stories were real-until she sees the figure staring directly at her from outside her bedroom window.

Now something has changed.

The nights have grown unnaturally long. Strange symbols appear around town. Entire families vanish without a trace, and an invisible presence follows Lena everywhere she goes.

Her twin brother, Jace, refuses to believe a Christmas myth could be responsible. He searches for a logical explanation while Lena becomes convinced that the creature has marked her.

Because she has discovered the truth.

This isn't a legend.

It's a hunt.

With the help of her mysterious boyfriend, Asher Tollan, Lena must uncover the horrifying secret buried beneath Hollow Creek before Christmas Eve arrives.

But every answer leads to another impossible question.

Why has this thing returned?

Why did it choose her?

And why do the oldest records insist that no one has ever escaped once they've been seen?

As the town descends into fear and the line between folklore and reality begins to collapse, Lena must make an impossible choice:

Save herself... or become the next person to vanish forever.

Because once you've been seen...

You don't get chased.

You don't get warned.

You just disappear.
