A nightmarish tale of a haunted Christmas, with traditions twisted and made terrifying as a mother and son grapple with their painful past, from the acclaimed master of horror and author of Anno Dracula. Deep in the British countryside, Lynda and her teenage son Rust prepare for Christmas, hanging fairy lights and making decorations. The first door of the advent calendar is opened, but the chocolate inside tastes off. Rust receives his first Christmas card, it's unsigned and the message is aggressive rather than festive.
