The runaway has returned. After thirty years of silence, thirty years of a carefully constructed life built on the ashes of his real identity, Matthew Klein stands once again on Damson Way. But the boy who fled Bayville on Christmas Eve, 1995 no longer exists. His house is gone — nothing but a snow-covered void between two aging homes. His family is gone — consumed by flames that he alone escaped. And the town has moved on, rebuilt itself over the tragedy like scar tissue covering a wound that never properly healed.But something in Bayville remembers.Nicole Ward still lives next door, in the same house where a ten-year-old Matthew pounded on the door while his family burned. She agreed to talk. She has answers — about that night, about what happened after, about her husband Wilbur, who is "gone" in a way that doesn't seem to grieve her. Tomorrow morning, over breakfast, the past will finally speak.If Matthew survives the night.The advent calendar traveled with him, buzzing and humming for six hours like something alive and hungry. When he finally opened door twelve in a frozen motel parking lot, it answered with a violent eruption of flies and writhing maggots — decay made manifest, spilling over his hands and onto the snow.Back in Marshport, the air still smells of smoke and no one can find the source. Mason whispers about a tall man in black who visits his room, a stranger his son insists his father knows. And somewhere between the empty lot at 625 Damson Way and the secrets Nicole Ward has kept for three decades, the truth waits like something coiled in the dark.Twelve doors opened. Twelve horrors unleashed.The calendar is only halfway finished.Get the print version of the novel: <a href="https://weirddarkness.com/AdventOfEvil" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.com/AdventOfEvil</a>#WeirdDarkness #ChristmasHorror #HolidayHorror #SupernaturalThriller #HauntedCalendar #DarkChristmas #HorrorStory #DemonicEvil #CreepyTales #YuletideTerror
