CANDY CAIN KILLS Audiobook Trailer

Today we’re excited to announce that Elisabeth Rodgers will narrate Brian McAuley’s Candy Cain Kills audiobook. The audiobook will be available on November 14, 2023 alongside the paperback and ebook formats.

Elisabeth Rodgers, an Audie Award winner and Voice Arts Award nominee, is the professional narrator behind some fantastic audiobooks, including our own Narcissus by Adam Godfrey, Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman, The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz, Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter, and many, many more.

Candy Cain Kills is the second entry in our new Killer VHS Series of novellas, a series of books where movie monsters come to life and old VHS tapes summon long-buried evils. You’ll probably survive, as long as you remember to be kind and rewind.
