Holidays Are Hell

Wonderful or horrible, holidays have always been magical, and HOLIDAYS ARE HELL looks at the connections between our world and the supernatural, and all the possibilities (good or evil, romantic or erotic) this creates for our four intrepid heroines. KIM HARRISON takes us into Rachel Morgan s past in "Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel"...One dark Solstice night, a dangerous spell will release a devilishly attractive ghost from the past to combat a deadly serial killer. In LYNSAY SANDS "The First Noel", Jill needs to escape a mad scientist who is convinced she s a shapeshifter, and help comes in the form of an unlikely ally. MARJORIE M. LIU introduces a nightmarish Chinese New Year in "Festival of Bones"...When an elite member of the Chinese military discovers a plot to release a monster into the world, she must join forces with a necromancer to stop the terrorist organization that wants to use the creature s powers to commit a terrible atrocity. In "The Harvest," VICKI PETTERSSON reveals what happens when former superhero Zoe Archer must willingly return to a hated--and beloved--enemy to save her infant granddaughter.
