Twelve carols. One bonus hymn. All damned. From the ashes of folklore to the glow of neon screens, Carols for the Damned by Dark Monarch drags Christmas through every shadow it has ever known. This collection of 12 stories plus a bonus tale reimagines the season of cheer as a season of dread-where ancient rituals resurface, haunted traditions refuse to die, and modern technology becomes the newest vessel for possession.
Here, the Krampus walks again, ornaments whisper in the dark, and gifts rot before they are opened. Here, urban hi-tech nightmares pulse beneath the glow of holiday lights, turning carols into corrupted code and cheer into contagion. Dark Monarch weaves folklore, theology, and psychological horror into a litany of corrupted Christmas.
