Killer VHS Series

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

The Killer VHS Series began this summer with Alex Ebenstein‘s Melon Head Mayhem.
