A Vampire Christmas Carol

Ebenezer Scrooge has never been known for the greatness of his heart. A miser, a leech, a penny-pinching old coot. . . Say what you will about him, though—he's never actually sucked someone's blood. That dubious honor belongs to the vampires who surround him, preying on the weak and laying traps for the strong. They've dogged his footsteps since he was born, driving him from the love of his friends, family, and faithful fiancée. Now, on Christmas Eve, Scrooge's old friend Jacob Marley rises from the grave to warn him about the evil gathering around him. With three mysterious spirits to guide him, he rediscovers his lost love Belle, toiling fearlessly as a seamstress by day and vampire hunter by night. He sees the secrets of his nephew Fred and his clerk Bob Cratchit, who risk their lives as Belle's loyal soldiers. And he learns of the plot mounting to attack all of them, starting with the innocent sacrifice of Bob's son Tiny Tim. . . Scrooge has only one night to save himself and all that he once treasured—but if he can vanquish the vampires, he might finally earn back the love he cast away. . .

Ben Prescott hates Christmas-he's a vampire, and to him, there's certainly nothing jolly about the holiday season. While the humans are running around being merry, he's hunting in the shadows. Ben plans to spend the holidays his way...by stalking deadly prey. But fate has other plans for Ben. Three visitors are coming Ben's way...A demon who will force Ben to face his past, a ghost who will show Ben the present he could have, and a shifter who will reveal the darkness that waits in Ben's future. Unless Ben can change his ways, he may just turn into a real monster, one who can't be saved by anyone or anything. 'Tis the season...to be undead. Ben's redemption rests in the hands of the one woman he loved and lost-Simone Laurent. If Ben is going to have a chance at being more than just the beast in the darkness, he has to prove himself to the lovely Simone. A very hard task, considering that, once upon a Christmas Eve, Simone died in Ben's arms...

This is not your great-grandfather's Christmas Carol! Ben is a successful casting director working out of San Francisco. He has access to a host of aspiring actresses who come to him looking to get into the movies, but just because he can find the right person for the right part doesn't mean he has a decent character. Ben's problem isn't his lack of financial charity, it's his lack of respect for any gender that's not him. On Christmas Eve, he's visited by his dead partner, who tells him he's doomed to a miserable after-party if he can't stop irresponsibly partying in this life. Can the ghosts of relationships past and the non-conforming and flamboyant ghosts of things to come wise Ben up to the wisdom of MeToo or will he end up condemned to a cold and lonely TooMe?
