Book Description

December 1983
Christmas in Murdock. A time of cozy safety, snowy sidewalks, and carolling children. But this holiday season someone is bating Sheriff Dunsmore in a bizarre and deadly game. Someone is stalking the young women he knows and loves...seducing them with icy steel...leaving them for him to find - fat too late. It's the night before Christmas. The frightened town edges toward panic. And Dunsmore is about to receive the most terrifying gift of all.

4.0 out of 5 stars A 4 ½ Star Review, November 30, 2010
This review is from: Black Christmas (Paperback)
Thomas Altman, a pseudonym used by thriller wiz Campbell Armstrong, spares no expenses of his savoir-faire for this grade-B type of a novella about Christmas and the killer that roams a small town. Using a strong narrative and solid characterization, Altman creates an atmospheric tale that has a "Halloween/Friday the 13th" flavor to its overall delivery. As the title proclaims, BLACK CHRISTMAS is indeed a dark read; a sense of dread does stay ever so present as the reader gets caught up into the life of this troubled sheriff faced with a bloody Holiday season. The plot never ever looses steam, even when the culprit becomes more and more evident as the story progresses. But is it really who we think it is? That's what makes BLACK CHRISTMAS so much fun and a notch above these so-called horror/mystery/suspense sub-genres concocted into one novel. You'll definitely want to revisit Altman's turf once finished with this gem. This reviewer sure will.-----Martin Boucher

This story is a pure whodunit. Definite page-turner.I enjoyed it start to finish. If you love slasher flicks,you'll love this book! Not for the squeamish.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's A Mystery Not Horror, November 13, 2011
This review is from: Black Christmas (Paperback)
I went into this book believing this was a horror novel; it's usually how the book is categorized. It's not actually a Horror novel; It's a Mystery loomed around the X-mas season. As for my personal taste; it was just OK
