Evangeline's not good. She might even be a bully. But she's not a baby, so why did her Dad think bringing that freaky-looking Watching Elf would help her behaviour before Christmas?! But then, footsteps scuttle beneath the fairy lights. Wrongdoers are attacked, each mysterious 'punishment' more violent and disturbing than the last. When she finds a tacky old horror magazine warning of a malevolent demon that flays your skin in the spirit of Christmas, Evangeline is filled with dread; is this connected to that hideous doll watching her from the hallway? And if so, what if she is on its naughty list? The first in a brand new horror series, Blood Texts. Book 2 publishing 2nd September 2025. Cover illustration by Keith Robinson.
