Keith Barnett is a Columbus taxi driver who survived Ironwood Retreat once. That was six years ago. He made his confession, held the iron, and drove away telling himself it was finished. For six years he almost believed it. Now the mirrors are wrong again and the back seat of his cab feels occupied even when it's empty. He knows what it means. He knows what he left unsaid.

Frank Harmon has kept the watch for ten years. He manages Keith's return the way he manages everything at Ironwood... carefully, methodically, with the knowledge of a man who has seen this kind of thing before. But Keith Barnett is not the only thing that found Ironwood Retreat this October.

Some doors don't close the first time.

A Christmas Horror Story from Tales from The Hollow


Two estranged sisters. One snowbound retreat. A Christmas that demands the truth.


Claire and Jenny haven't spoken in eight years—not since their mother's funeral revealed deep wounds neither could face. When they return to rural Ohio to scatter her ashes at a remote retreat, a blizzard traps them with the secrets they've buried for decades.


As Christmas decorations manifest unbidden and a figure wearing their dead mother's face appears in the snow, they discover The Yuletide: an ancient entity that feeds on family lies and the gap between holiday cheer and hidden resentment.


It knows what Claire suffered to protect her sister. It knows why Jenny stayed away. And it won't stop until they speak the truth to each other—or die pretending everything is fine.


Set in December 1983 at the isolated Ironwood Retreat, THE YULETIDE is a gothic Christmas horror story about childhood trauma, family secrets, and the cost of forgiveness.


Part of the Tales from The Hollow series - standalone gothic horror stories set in 1980s rural Ohio, connected by the mysteries of Grindstone Hollow and Ironwood Retreat.
