Silent Night, Evil Night

As winter break starts,
a group of sorority sisters 
begin receiving chilling,
anonymous phone calls.

When one of the sisters
goes missing, and the 
news reports that a local
adolescent girl has been
murdered, the joyous
holiday season takes a
grim turn when it becomes 
obvious that a serial killer
is on the loose.

As the women work with
the police to trace the
number the stranger is 
calling from, no one 
realizes just how close
he already is.

About

Based on the 1974 Original Motion Picture with a foreword by Lynne Griffin, the actress who plays Clare Harrison. If this novel doesn’t make your skin crawl… it’s on too tight!

Silent Night, Evil Night

As winter break starts,
a group of sorority sisters 
begin receiving chilling,
anonymous phone calls.

When one of the sisters
goes missing, and the 
news reports that a local
adolescent girl has been
murdered, the joyous
holiday season takes a
grim turn when it becomes 
obvious that a serial killer
is on the loose.

As the women work with
the police to trace the
number the stranger is 
calling from, no one 
realizes just how close
he already is.

Armando Muñoz’s debut novel, Hoarder, was hailed by Fangoria magazine as “dynamite – a sickening, imaginative shocker.” His second novel, Turkey Day, marked his foray into the holiday horror subgenre and earned praise from master storyteller Clive Barker, who declared himself “a new fan” of Armando’s work. He released the sequel, Turkey Kitchen, in 2021, and is currently compiling his first collection of gothic fiction for an anthology. Muñoz’s epic movie tie-in novelizations include My Bloody Valentine (dubbed “a gold mine” by Fangoria), Silent Night, Deadly Night (Rue Morgue called it “deliriously inventive”), Happy Birthday To Me (described as “gleefully gruesome” by Bloody Disgusting), and Basket Case (which Fangoria warned their readers was Armando’s “most deranged offering yet,” and that the novel’s “insanity” was something they were “not prepared” for).
