O Deadly Night is back, and this time the happiest season of all is hiding even more secrets.

This is a charity anthology with proceeds going to It Gets Better, an organization that supports LGBTQ youth with the goal of protecting these kids so that no more are lost because of trying to live as their real selves. When I do an anthology, I always write a short synopsis of each story giving the authors recognition and introducing them to readers who may not be familiar with them.
Prelude to Madness: Alex J. Adams – 5****Stars
This first story gave me goosebumps because it was scary and a reality for many. A man in a coma, who uses drugs and who has accepted his dream world and doesn’t want to leave. I won’t go into detail of what his dream world encompasses but it is not pretty.
Slaying Klause: Sean Azinsalt – 5*****Stars
Derek and Andrew have become vigilantes killing those that have hurt children and would continue hurting them. Both men suffered in the past, Derek was able to put his past in the past, but Andrew suffers everyday thinking about the abuse his stepfather subjected him to. One last kill, Santa
Klause who every Christmas, ignored their pleas for help. Pleas for help go unheard every day by children who after a while lose hope. A story of pain and hope.
Santa’s Workshop: Bey Deckard – 5*****Stars
Two men have been kidnapped and locked in a cage. Their kidnapper is Mr. Kringle with his elves in his workshop making toys for the children. This story scared the heck out of me, and I will never look at Santa the same. If being scared is your thing, then this story is what you need. I am not familiar with this author but after reading this I am certainly going to put her on my to read list.
All I Am: Abrianna Denae – 5*****Stars
What would Christmas be like without a torturer and a hacker. For two years these men danced around each other until one of them decided to kidnap the other forcing them to confront their feelings.
Stronger Together: Elouise R East – 5*****Stars
Jacob is a man who if he didn’t have bad luck, he would have no luck at all. No job, no apartment but a friend who forced him to go to a bar and find someone to spend the night with just to get him out.
He finds someone who changes his world, someone who is a psychopath and who brings Jacob into his life and world.
Ave Fucking Maria: MJ Green – 5*****Stars
WOW there is no way to put into words what happens in this story of torture. Albie and his fiancé Gio believe in punishing and killing anyone who deserves it. If it is a matter of money they are just killed if it is a matter of doing personal harm to others especially those who work in their casino the torture they inflict is off the charts and gave me goosebumps. Torture and killing is simply a pleasure that they enjoy.
Here Comes Santa Claus: K.L. Hiers – 5*****Stars
A monster Santer, a myth, Mark a human, and Jon the best friend that Mark murdered. When the man who plays Santa disappears the search for him is on and bringing searchers near where Mark murdered Jon.

Soldatino: Leigh Kenzie – 5*****Stars
Wow, kink, torture, murder, possession and an amazing story. Marcus’s family are thieves and Marcus is the one always sent out to do the stealing. When he steals from Alessandro the head of a huge mafiosi
Organization he will find out what happens when you steal from a man everyone calls Master. His family will be put in danger, but it is not something Marcus feels bad about since when they discovered he was gay they came close to killing him. Whatever happens to the family is well deserved. I hate homophobia and can’t understand such hatred.
Silent Knight: Davidson King – 5*****Stars
Ezra is a foster care child and at the age of ten when he was about to be abused by older boys who were bullying him, he discovered that he had a guardian angel. His guardian angel followed him till he was twenty when he came face to face with his savior. The story of why he had a guardian angel, who he was and how he came into Ezra’s life is quite a story. I have read many books by Davidson King, so I was happy to read another one.

Slay Bells Ring: Jack L. Pyke – 5*****Stars
OMG this story left me breathless. Rush and Carter were childhood friends and lovers until Carter’s brother was killed and Rush’s brother was sent to prison for the murder. Now an accident left Rush on the side of the road and his rescuer turned out to be Carter. They have no idea how their pasts will turn their futures into a horror movie.
It’s a Wonderful Death: Remi Varlow – 5*****Stars
Noel was sold to vampires at the age of 8 and her life was filled with daily horror. She always dreamed of a Christmas angel like the one she saw on TV, never expecting to get one. Then her Christmas angel does come to her rescue, but she has no idea who or what he is. This is a story of a Christmas miracle.
This was a book filled with violence, torture and murder and yet I couldn’t put it down. Christmas is a fun time but sometimes a little darkness is what is needed to offset all that merriness, just saying.
