The supermarket aisles are laden with foil-wrapped candies. Shopping malls are decked out with sparkly lights and festive displays. You’ve been receiving email reminders about the big day for months. And now it’s finally here.

Happy Christmas!

Ha, no, of course it’s Goth Christmas – or Halloween, if you’re so inclined.

To celebrate, Slay Ride is on offer until 1 November 2024 for the bargain basement price of £0.99 in the UK and $0.99 in the US.

So, you’re not yet sold by a SPECIAL LIMITED-TIME OFFER or my MS PAINT SKILLZ to demonstrate how Slay Ride sits at the intersection of a Venn diagram of Halloween and Christmas?

Did I mention that Slay Ride is AWARD NOMINATED for Best Horror and Biggest Plot Twist? (Funny, I usually mention that much earlier in conversation.)

Well, perhaps I’m biased. It’s my book, so you shouldn’t trust a word I say, right? Well, here’s what readers are saying about THE GREATEST NOVEL THIS CENTURY… Yeah, okay, so those are my words again. But these aren’t:

“This was a pleasantly unexpected read – funny, gory, and original!”

“I understand that coupling the joy and magic of Christmas with a horror story may seem strange to some, but it really hits the spot for me. I loved reading this well-written and original book. It’s more nightmarish than Krampus!”

“At first, the story plays like a classic slasher taking place in a cliche murder mystery scenario. And we, the reader, fall for it, believing it to be another vanilla take… until the action starts and we, as well as the stranded travelers, become aware of the absolute nightmare all the occupants at the pub find themselves in. A festive horror novel with a few twists and turns, colorful personalities, snowladen location, crazy locals, gruesome deaths, and genuine scares. What’s not to like?”

“Fantastic read. There are some really laugh out loud scenes.”

“Mad concept, but enthralling all the same. I read it in 24 hours. Horror slash mystery slash craziness, sounds like Christmas to me!”

I think you’ll get more enjoyment from Slay Ride than the quarter of a cup of pumpkin spice latte that you could otherwise purchase for the equivalent monetary value. But I would say that, wouldn’t I?

And if you’re on Kindle Unlimited, you can read Slay Ride for free!
