Description

Firefighters, serial killers, ghosts, and the mentally ill.

The title story-a modern-day reimagining of Charles Dickens' wonderful A Christmas Carol-finds Elliot's PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) from working the front lines of a large urban fire department replacing Scrooge's greed as our protagonist's personal demon. Elliot has seen plenty of horrors in his career and is at a dangerous breaking point. Can ghostly, late-night visitors to the firehouse one Christmas Eve pull him from the brink of suicide? Written from the heart of a firefighter/paramedic who has seen his own struggles, A Firefighter Christmas Carol is an emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end.

Joining the title novella are five additional short stories. In Janitor, a nightshift worker quickly realizes he's not alone. Who is the man in black?

Death Alarm uses real-life firefighting knowledge to explore other-worldly consequences when pure evil battles the noblest of professions.

In CatchTime, a nasty comment on a fictional social media platform is all it takes to really get under a guy's skin.

Skelwaller Lane is a brutal tale exploring how even the most horrible behavior can sometimes be justified only if the entire story is told.

Closing out the collection is DOA, a spooky little story about a paramedic with an unwanted skill that really comes back to haunt her.
