The Thing in Christmas Town by Iseult Murphy
Welcome to Christmas Town, where it is Christmas every day!
Visit the town where your wishes come true. Recapture the magic of your youth. Find love and happiness.
You’ll never want to leave.
Christmas was once Diane’s favourite holiday, but she can’t face it after the tragic accident that took her husband’s life shortly before the festive season.
Wishing to recapture the happy times of their youth, Diane’s grown children take her to Ireland’s latest attraction. Christmas Town, nestled in the Cavan hills, where it is Christmas 365 days a year.
There’s something about Christmas Town that unsettles Diane. Maybe it’s the fixed, happy smiles of the people who work there. Perhaps it’s the odd images in the wallpaper, or the blood that seeps out of the snow.
Could it be her grief that’s stopping her from being happy?
As reality warps around her, Diane realises that leaving is not an option. In a place where wishes come true, Diane’s one wish is to save her family, even if she must confront The Thing in Christmas Town to do it.
