Colin Wilson's world is twisted into a horrific nightmare as the brutal kaiju Dargolla attacks his once near-idyllic home town. He and his family quickly find themselves in a frantic race to reach the interstate road that will take them to safety while untold death and destruction unfolds in their midst.

Christmas, the year's most revered holiday, has long been associated with joy, peace, and gift-giving. But for just as long, though largely forgotten or overlooked to maintain a positive festive mood and to keep the holiday "kid-friendly," were depictions of the season's darker side that could also encompass tales of horror. This volume includes legendary Christmas nightmares from folklore and classic literature descending upon unwitting victims and giving them the worst, most bloody holiday experience imaginable in four original short stories that you should most certainly not read during the family gathering beside the hearth. Not only has the Krampus returned for more seasonal mayhem, but you will also run afoul of two other horrors from Germanic folklore to haunt the Christmas season: the human-eating winter ogress Gryla and the man-slaughtering feline known as the Yule Cat. And what volume of Christmas terror would be complete without a certain famous trio of Ghosts to teach harsh lessons to those who need it most for the holidays? As in Volume 1, these short tales of holiday horror are brought to you courtesy of Christofer Nigro, the author of the teen werewolf novel series Nero (beginning with Nero: The Beast Emerges), also published by Wild Hunt Press. As a bonus, this volume reprints the short story "Nero: A Holiday Haunting," featuring the young lycanthrope Mike Nero dealing with a holiday-based horror of his own; and a new flash fiction from the pen of Dustin Dreyling, author of Wild Hunt Press's Primordial Soup kaiju horror series.

It is 1981 in Buffalo, New York, and an angry, embittered young teen known and hated by his peers as Mike Nero is about to acquire a horrific tool of revenge -- he is about to be granted the power to transform at will into a werewolf from a most unexpected source. This novella begins his continuing saga, as he is compelled by combinations of choice and circumstance to use his newfound power to become everything from a seeker of personal vengeance to a reluctant anti-hero to oppose various threats that come his way and may present an even bigger menace to the Queen City than he is.This is his origin story, where he begins the long journey that will ultimately culminate in his becoming the lycanthropic monster hunter and champion code-named Beowolf you will see in various upcoming publications by Wild Hunt Press (hint: look out for BOOGEY KNIGHTS Vol. 1 and MANSION OF THE MACABRE Vol. 1, to name two!). However, the road that brings him there will be a difficult one filled with horror, tragedy, trauma, and triumph along the way, and it all started here! In his first exploit, you see Nero's origin as he seeks bloody revenge on those who had tormented him in the past, and also finds himself forced to use the power of the werewolf against the threat of the monstrous canine known as the Jack Dog and the vicious pack of feral dogs under his control that seek to become nothing less than the alpha predator of the Queen City, feeding on humans and targeting Nero, a newly created werewolf, as a rival to be eliminated. Can the young Nero prevail against the Jack Dog and his brutal pack even with the power of the werewolf at his beck and call, and while he is still just learning how the power works? And does he even want to, considering his own hatred of the human species?Rated Ex (Explicit) for graphic violence, strong language, and intense themes.

Benny Lonero always lacked power in his young life. His fellow high school students constantly reminded him of this every time they tormented and bullied him. His family reminded him of the same thing every time it became clear they didn't understand him.This all changed when a cosmic force known as a Warp Event occurred above his home city of Buffalo, New York... and Benny found himself imbued with its otherworldly energies. Suddenly, he had power beyond reason. He would attempt to use it to become a costumed hero, much like the characters he read about in the comic books.However, the road to becoming a hero would not be quite that easy. Benny would find that his inner demons were as formidable an adversary as the various threats to his home city that also emerged from the Warp Event. And considering how dangerous these other threats would be, that is truly saying something.Would Benny, as the mighty Centurion, become the protector that he wanted to be? Or was he fated to be a threat as dangerous as any other spawned by the Warp Event?As Benny will find out, being a hero takes far more than great power and good intentions. It takes a lot of responsibility... and immense sacrifices. Centurion's tragic saga beings here.

Christmas, the year's most revered holiday, has long been associated with joy, peace, and gift-giving. But for just as long, though largely forgotten or overlooked to maintain a positive festive mood and to keep the holiday "kid-friendly," were depictions of the season's darker side that could also encompass tales of horror.

The above Christmas horror themes are brought to you via four original short stories by Christofer Nigro, the author of the teen werewolf novel series Nero (beginning with Nero: The Beast Emerges), also published by Wild Hunt Press.
