Description



Book Synopsis



Think twice if you've been naughty or nice with this novelization of the original 1984 cult classic slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Night - the Christmas horror film that inspired the 2022 remake.

Christmas Eve, 1971... Five-year-old Billy Chapman witnessed his parents brutally murdered by a man disguised as Santa Claus, leaving him and his little brother to be raised in a strict Catholic orphanage ruled by the sadistic Mother Superior.

December, 1984... Eighteen and finally on his own, Billy sets out to live a normal life. Landing a job at the local toy store, he's forced to play Santa Claus for the holiday season. Still in his red suit at the employee Christmas party, Billy snaps, going on a violent rampage, punishing all those he deems "naughty."

Now, with one last gift to deliver, Billy makes his way back to the orphanage, where he has an axe to grind with Mother Superior.

Naughty. Very... naughty!



About the Author



Armando Muñoz's debut novel, Hoarder, was hailed by Fangoria magazine as "dynamite - a sickening, imaginative shocker." His second novel, Turkey Day, marked his foray into the holiday horror subgenre and earned praise from master storyteller Clive Barker, who declared himself "a new fan" of Armando's work. He released the sequel, Turkey Kitchen, in 2021, and is currently compiling his first collection of gothic fiction for an anthology. Muñoz's epic movie tie-in novelizations include My Bloody Valentine (dubbed "a gold mine" by Fangoria), Silent Night, Deadly Night (Rue Morgue called it "deliriously inventive"), Happy Birthday To Me (described as "gleefully gruesome" by Bloody Disgusting), and Basket Case (which Fangoria warned their readers was Armando's "most deranged offering yet," and that the novel's "insanity" was something they were "not prepared" for).
