Adrian Zeger and his wife, Marie, are expecting their
first
baby together. Of course, that is an exciting event in
their
lives, but it is also Christmas and that just adds to the
magic of the moment. They are traveling to their home in
Munich by tram with their holiday tree when the
unthinkable
happens. There is a tragic accident and many people are
killed.
Fortunately, Adrian seems to have only been knocked around
a
bit and he soon finds Marie lying in the snow. At first,
he
is not sure whether he has lost her or not, but she opens
eyes and seems to be fine.
At least at first.
PSYCHO THRILL: UNHOLY NIGHT is a fast moving, frightening
tale that carries you along with it even as you may want
to
look away in horror. But you cannot. Timothy Stahl is an
award winning horror writer and his ability to weave a
yarn
that will make your hair stand on end is totally evident.
While this is a novella, you may find yourself being a
little relieved at that fact because the vortex of terror
that Mr. Stahl is capable of drawing you into is not for
the
faint hearted. On the other hand, a true fan of the horror
genre will latch onto PSYCHO THRILL: UNHOLY NIGHT with
both
hands and crave more at the end, even though things are
wrapped up nicely.
Another nice thing is that, while it does have a plot that
takes place in the Christmas season; this is definitely
something that you will want to read during this month of
goblins, spooks and other "unholy" creatures. In fact, if
you read it now, the aftereffects will linger with you all
the way up until the night when the veil is thinnest
between
the living and the dead. What better way to start getting
in
the mood?
After a horrific accident, Adrian watches as his pregnant
wife, Marie, clinically dies for several minutes. By some
miracle Marie regains consciousness and finds that the

taken control. Then suddenly Marie disappears.
Desperate to find his wife, Adrian tracks Marie down to
her
childhood home only to discover that her idyllic hometown
