When December rolls around, these folks pull out all the stops for America's biggest, brightest holiday display . . . but not everyone in Christmas, PA, is so enthusiastic. Teens Jake, Abe, and Wyn are more interested in the dark side of the holiday that their parents like to pretend doesn't exist . . . the ancient legends of mythic monsters and pagan pandemonium that are deeply tied to the festival's long-forgotten origins. So when their hobby leads them to an abandoned wing of the local Christmas museum to investigate, they'll discover an ancient relic that, when activated, will bring a furious procession of yuletide horrors long since banished from our plane--and with it, a darkness that has been waiting centuries for its chance to overtake the world! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the tradition of \u003ci\u003eThe Goonies\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHocus Pocus\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Nightmare Before Christmas\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYuletide: Curse of the Winter Witch\u003c\/i\u003e is a haunting holiday tale unleashing a monstrous new kind of seasonal tradition on readers young and old!\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge Northy \u003c\/b\u003eis writer and producer of film, TV and comics best known for writing the cult teen comedy feature \u003ci\u003eG.B.F.\u003c\/i\u003e and for series like MTV's \u003ci\u003eFaking It\u003c\/i\u003e, the CW's \u003ci\u003eCharmed\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eXO Kitty\u003c\/i\u003e on Netflix.
