Library Journal praises CANDY CAIN KILLS

Library Journal praises Candy Cain Kills

Library Journal recently published their review of Candy Cain Kills by Brian McAuley. Candy Cain Kills is the second entry in our Killer VHS Series.

“This Christmas slasher, in the vein of movies like Silent Night, Deadly Night, is a quick read and a perfect book for gorehounds to devour on a cold Christmas night where there’s a fire in the hearth, some cocoa on the nightstand, and possibly something murderous in the snowy dark.”

We’d like to thank Library Journal for their review!

Candy Cain Kills is available to pre-order in paperback and ebook ahead of its November 14, 2023 release date!
