The Christmas Present
(2023)(The tenth book in the Short Horror Stories Collection series)
A Novella by Tim O'Rourke
Business has been slow this year for Colin, who is a traveling salesman - so slow that he hardly has enough money to buy his wife and young son a Christmas present.
But things change when Colin stumbles across an old curiosity shop that seems to be beckoning him to enter. Once inside, the witch-like shop keeper offers Colin a free gift - a gift that will change not only his life but the lives of his wife and son too.
Some people say that the best things in life are free, but Colin is about to discover that everything comes with a price tag - especially at Christmas!
A standalone short horror story (7,000 words approx.) to give you nightmares just before bedtime!
***This story contains scenes of gore***
Genre: Horror
