Happy Holidays!

For my last episode of 2022, I welcome the return of one of my favorite authors working today, Troy Taylor!

Troy as just released his latest book "One Bleak Midwinter Night" - a collection of true, dark tales that take place during the holiday season.

Join us on a journey that reveals the TRAGEDY of the season with deaths, disasters, fires, and horrors that wreaked havoc on the days of Christmas in the past.

It’s not to dampen your holiday spirit. No, far from it. It’s a reminder that amidst the darkness, there is still light. No matter what you may believe in or what spiritual affiliations you might have – or don’t have – the holidays are a season of both dark and light.

Troy is put together a masterful work and it is indeed a honor to feature him on this episode of NECRONOMICAST!
