About this listen
Christmas is the most magical time of the year. Between the decorations, the movies, and the fun family traditions, you can truly feel the Christmas spirit. While visiting a local Christmas store, things seem to take a terrifying turn when Kelsey notices the store owner, Madame Trudeau, performing a strange ritual over the trio of elf dolls her younger brother Colby picked out.
Strange and chilling occurrences lead Kelsey to believe the dolls can come to life. What’s scarier than a creepy doll? How about three vengeful elf dolls?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12
“Before there was light, there was a vast emptiness. That is Mother Cold, and we will all return to her." "As Confederate soldier Martin Tomball faces death, freezing overnight on a battlefield, Mother Cold comes to make a deal—a deal that will curse his family for generations to come. Now, in the winter of 2021, Texas is hit with a state-wide ice storm, leaving millions of households without power. Siblings Jasper and Autumn Tomball are going to have to find a plan to stay warm until the ice thaws—or until Mother Cold comes to collect her bargain.”

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
Ren has a problem, and it’s not his heroin addiction. Or that he’s wanted for murdering his step-father. He’s being haunted by something far worse than the ghost of his dead sister. When he hitches a ride with Lefty, Jersey, and Geena, a group of itinerant addicts on the run from their own problems, he starts to believe maybe things are looking up. But there’s something wrong with Lefty. Something unnatural. Something that wants to see them all dead. Can Ren stop it in time, or will he end up torn apart on the side of the highway? Or worse?

I absolutely loved this scary Christmas story! This story is the exact reason I have never owned an Elf on the Shelf. Looking forward to listening to more of this series.

Spooky Holiday Read
A Very Scary Christmas brings the magic of the holiday season to life with a chilling twist. I enjoyed the audiobook narration, and the cover art adds to the festive atmosphere. It was a nice change of pace to immerse myself in a Christmas story, even in May. This spooky adventure offers an exciting read perfect for young readers. I'm excited to dive into more Scareville books in the future!

Goosebumps vibes
Definitely goosebumps vibes. The younger kids will fall in love with the Scareville books. The story and performance was great. I think the only reason it didn’t get a 5 from me is it wasn’t scary to me because I’m older. But kids are definitely going to love his work. Keep writing! Move over R. L. STINE, John Ward has entered the ring.

Watch out for these elves on the shelves
Kelsey and her family are absolutely obsessed with Christmas, and they love their yearly traditions. Decorating, songs, cookies, the absolute works. And every year they get to pick out a new decoration to put up around the house.
They go to the market and her annoying younger brother Colby picks out a trio of elves to sit on their mantle. Kelsey doesn't know what's creepier - the way they look, or the way the shop owner was acting towards them when they purchased them.
Either way, they get home and Kelsey tries to enjoy the prep for Christmas. Her dad is home from his trucking job, her best friend is sleeping over, everything should be great. But something about the elves seem... off. Is Colby trying to play tricks on her, or is she actually hearing them talk and seeing them move? The more Kelsey tries to investigate, the more dangerous the situation becomes.
The narrator did a great job with the story and with the voices of the different characters! I believe she also narrated book 2, so I'm not surprised I enjoyed it again this time.
This book absolutely did NOT convince me to start a yearly elf on the shelf tradition, and has only furthered my hatred for that certain tradition. Haha. It's another successful installment in the Scareville series, great for adults looking for a fun read that reminds them of their childhood and for young kids to get a decent creepy middle grade horror book. My kids and I have enjoyed the series a ton so far, and I don't imagine that changing anytime soon!
