Holidays Are Hell

Kim Harrison

Urban Fantasy / Thriller / Young Adult

This holiday, spend quality time with family and loved ones—living and dead...There's no place like home for the horrordays—unless you'd prefer a romantic midnight walk through a ghost-infested graveyard...or a haunted house candlelight dinner with the sexy vampire of your dreams. The (black) magical season is here—and whether it's a solstice séance gone demonically wrong with the incomparable Kim Harrison, a grossly misshapen Christmas with the remarkable Lynsay Sands, a blood-chilling-and-spilling New Year's with the wonderful Marjorie M. Liu, or a super-powered Thanksgiving with the phenomenal Vicki Pettersson, one thing is for certain: in the able hands of these exceptional dark side explorers, the holidays are going to be deliciously hellish!
