Christmas. A time of peace, joy, and good will to all, right? Not this time.

After tragedy strikes, Eric offers a helping hand to an old family friend and reluctantly agrees to look after her college student daughter, Cassie, over the winter break. A run-down motel in rural Minnesota isn't exactly how Cassie had planned to spend the festive season, but it could always be worse - if, say, she discovered a body in the trunk of her guardian's car, only to realize the body is actually alive, non-human and seemingly impossible to kill.

Over the next couple of weeks, Cassie joins Eric in tracking down rogue Christmas beasts across the state, leading all the way to the patriarch of the winter's monsters himself.

A Twisted Christmas by spicy_sweets

Every Christmas Eve, King Santa Claus soars through the skies to deliver presents in a sleigh pulled by eight flying reindeer. But until midnight, if you listen closely, you can hear his merciless whip snapping across their backs. Krampus, the goat demon and punisher of naughty children, was once the king's most trusted advisor, and even named heir to Santa's throne. However, when he began to question the North Polian monarchy, he was exiled to the outskirts of Antartica. Now, after spending a century in solitude, Krampus is finally summoned back to his home. Upon his return, he learns of how tyrannous the king has become in his absence. It isn't anywhere near the holidays, but it looks like Santa won't be the only one working overtime this year.

The Beast Within by LadyInTower

A family lost and a son alone. A boy's life at its end and beginning. An adventure filled with fantastical terrors, where a child becomes a monster, and a monster becomes a legend. *** These were the ominous words the ghost Marmy Jo spoke when foretelling Josiah's future: "Got a world of pain comin' your way, boy-and fast! But, if you make it, you'll come out a stronger beast than many." When a wolf attack leaves Josiah mortally wounded, his sister Credence is forced to abandon him to find help. Where she went, he cannot say, for the last thing he remembers is hearing his heart stop. Josiah, the boy who died, wakes to find the world much changed. Deep within, a horror howls, threatening to tear from his bones at any moment. With his sister gone, Josiah is alone for the first time in his life, and must learn how to survive in the dark, dark woods. But how can an eight-year-old defend against devious spiders, cruel kings, and bloodthirsty titans? And how long can Josiah refuse the call of darkness before he's pulled down a path of chaos and blood? 📚 Book Three of the "Bedtime Story" Series 📚 Content Warning: This story contains violence including death of children, mild language, alcohol and tobacco use.

Stranger by naii_reads1111

Nevaeh Gerard killed her mother. She's the reason her mother is dead. And her father always made sure she knew it. Always reminded her of it. Which is why she was relieved when her father went missing 5 years ago. She'd finally be able to quit hunting for good, live her normal, apple pie life with her perfect boyfriend, and go to college, just like she'd dreamed of since a little girl. Just like her big brother encouraged her to. His life was ruined because of hunting, but her life doesn't have to. But that Ill-fated dream is squashed when her brother stops returning her phone calls, and 1 week later, Dean Winchester, a childhood friend who she hasn't seen for 6 years, breaks into her apartment and tells her that the disappearance of her brother and both their fathers is all somehow connected to her. Now, she's sucked right back into the life she so desperately fought to get out of.

HOW THE SHADOWS FEAST || ONC 2024 ✔ by _marmoris_

❝ 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐄, 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄. ❞ Saskia Vrana knows what to do when the Nights of Smoke come: Close the windows and doors. Don't look out into the darkness. Sacrifice and pray. And never dare to leave the convent. These are the sacred rules to follow if you want to survive the creatures lurking outside - and the Order of Wolves, which ensures the village's safety with watchful eyes. So, what to do when you accidentally violate one of them on the very first night and receive a divination you shouldn't outlive? However, it's not Saskia they hold responsible, but her fellow sister Katinka. When coldblooded Prince Silvan von Winterthal and his order take her, Saskia is eager to break all those rules at once and more to get her back. And if she must risk her own life making a deal with a devil while the Wild Hunt ravages the lands, she will. ______________ ONC 2024 ENTRY: Prompts 25, 28, 95

The Bride Of Krampus (Yandere! Krampus x Shy & Mute OC) by rappgirl2014

Sophia North was always that of the broken sort. With her abusive father and the bullies in her school she is treated as the freak only because of her natural icy eyes and for one simple fact. She still believed in Santa at eighteen years of age. Because of the abuse, physical and mental, she stays quiet and keeps to herself. One night her father kicks her out of the house in the freezing snowy night with rags of clothes, only to be saved by a kind, old, German woman and is welcomed into the Engel families home for Christmas. Little does she know that spending this Christmas with the two opposing families will be life changing and life threatening. I do not own Krampus, only the plot twist and the OC. All rights go to the creator, producers, and actors of Krampus. #1 in yandere- 23 August 2018 #1 in obsession- 22 August 2018 #1 in kill- 21 August 2018

Sleep with the Lights On ✔️ by adrienne0047

After months of nightmares, Cassie wakes up in the underworld where the monsters of fairytales roam the streets. Escaping the underworld won't be easy, especially since someone brought her there for a purpose.

Misery County by Michael_Houston

When he hung up his combat boots for the last time, Eric planned to enjoy a taste of the quiet life. Destiny had other ideas. After being called out to help an old friend with a mysterious disturbance, Eric finds himself at the front line of a very different kind of battlefield; one where the weapons are unearthly, the stakes are high, and the enemies aren't human. Alongside Cassie, his friend, fellow monster hunter, and begrudging surrogate sister, Eric makes it his mission to rid Missouri County of its supernatural scourge, but what started off as a simple job ends up costing Eric more than he knew he had to lose. Now with soundtrack! I'm thrilled to say that the full ebook and paperback are now available at Amazon from... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M65SCMM ...or simply search "Misery County Michael Houston" in your own country's Amazon. Q: Will the full story still stay on Wattpad. A: Yes! But who doesn't love a good ol' paperback in their hands? And that new book smell... mmm, simply delicious...
