In downtown Chicago’s festive Christmas market, strings of twinkling lights and carollers in Victorian attire mask an unimaginable horror. Gabe, a jaded mall Santa with a troubled past, Vicky, a desperate mother searching for her daughter, and Leo, a down-on-his-luck survivor, find themselves thrust into a nightmare as the idyllic holiday scene erupts into chaos.

A mysterious snowfall triggers a horrifying transformation among the crowd, turning ordinary people into bloodthirsty, glowing-eyed predators. As the infection spreads like wildfire, the unlikely trio bands together, fighting for survival in a city consumed by madness. Their journey takes them from the blood-soaked cobblestones of the market to the crumbling sanctity of a church, and finally into the suffocating shadows of a frozen city, where survival becomes a test of strength, loyalty, and sacrifice. But in a world where loved ones become monsters and hope is a fleeting luxury, survival comes at an unthinkable cost. As the snow falls heavier and the horrors grow deadlier, the boundaries of humanity are pushed to the brink.

Tidings of Terror is a gripping blend of heart-pounding action, chilling suspense, and devastating emotion, a holiday tale anything but merry. For fans of survival horror and stories lingering long after the final word, this book is a must-listen.
