KIDS ARE VANISHING IN VICTORIAN LONDON. ONLY TOBY KNOWS WHY.
CAN HE SAVE THE CITY BEFORE FALLING VICTIM HIMSELF?

After twelve-year-old Toby Carter escapes a brutal workhouse at Christmas, he can't believe his good fortune. Adopted by a band of travelling performers called The Winter Freak Show who put on spellbinding shows each night, he finally believes he's found the family he always wanted. Then everything falls apart.

Children are disappearing throughout the city. Pretty soon, all evidence points to those Toby trusted the most and he finds himself caught up in a conspiracy far more sinister than he ever imagined. Defenceless and on the run, he's confronted with two options: uncover the kidnapper before another child falls victim, or stand by and watch as the shadowy criminal becomes unstoppable.

The fate of Christmas rests in the balance.

The Winter Freak Show is the first book in Daniel Parsons's spellbinding Twisted Christmas Trilogy. If you like vivid magic, fantastic creatures, and a race against time, then you'll love this thrilling fantasy adventure.All Rights Reserved

I Applied for a Delivery Job and Got Turned Into a Flying Reindeer?! by ThisAdamGuy

When Justin Flinchley loses his job the day after Thanksgiving, he thinks his life is over. Without money to pay rent, he'll be celebrating Christmas in the streets unless he can manage to find a new job by the end of the week. But in the middle of his frantic job search, he comes across an ad that sounds too good to be true: "Air courier desperately needed. No experience necessary, we will train you. Must be willing to relocate." The moment Justin applies, he is whisked away to the North Pole, where he's given a shiny new pair of antlers and is told that he's the latest addition to Santa's team of magic, shapeshifting reindeer! An ancient evil is plotting to shroud the world in darkness, and only Santa's gifts can keep the light of hope in children's hearts shining bright enough to push it back. Justin has less than a month to learn how to fly before Santa's yearly trip around the world. The fate of Christmas--and the entire world--depends on him. There's only one problem: he's afraid of heights.

Most of the characters and locations belong to Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis, ABC Productions and Walt Disney Inc., but some characters and locations were created by me and are solely my possessions. A special thanks to my mother for pulling this story out of my head and putting it onto paper. Since I can't type fast whatsoever on a computer, together, we have both worked on this project. If it weren't for her, I would probably still be on the prologue.
