 s a string of disappearances into the middle of a terrifying Christmas c
 ult inspired by our favorite holiday classics.You better watch out. You 
 better not cry. It’s Christmas in the village of Yule\, Maine. In fact
 \, it’s always Christmas in Yule. Here\, Santa Claus isn’t a storybo
 ok figure. He’s an icon. A god. The villagers don’t just believe in 
 him—they worship him. And the world is better for it. Halley Belanger 
 hates Christmas\, and she doesn’t have much love for Santa either. But
  when a string of child disappearances across Maine seems to spare only 
 the village of Yule\, Halley—a sharp\, skeptical reporter—decides to
  investigate. What she finds is a town that guards its secrets with ging
 erbread smiles and a snow globe sheen. Outsiders aren’t welcome. She i
 sn’t welcome. And something sinister is keeping the Christmas spirit a
 live. As Halley digs deeper\, she begins to uncover the horrifying truth
  behind Yule’s eternal cheer. Christmas comes at a grisly cost. And Sa
 nta Claus is no saint.\n\n\n\nABOUT KEVIN JOHNSON:Kevin Johnson grew up
