Title: Christmas Eve on Haunted Hill

This was...
- short (just over 100 pages)
- holiday-themed (obviously. It took place all on Christmas Eve)
- bad. Well, to be fair it was more like a Tales from the Crypt episode. For such a short story it skipped a lot of background and took some liberties with characters and backstory. Hey I read the whole thing, so it wasn't that bad.
Luke is the lone survivor of a Christmas Eve massacre committed by his Santa-suited father 10 years ago. Ten years later, Luke is back in town, in a Santa suit, with plans to commit suicide after getting wasted in the local bar. When he runs into an old friend (divine providence?) things take a different turn and he decides to destroy his old house, the scene of the original tragedy. But a bunch of kids have beat them to the house and are about to come face-to-face with an evil that visits the house once a year to bring something far more sinister than presents.
