The December Experiments: A Retrofuturistic Holiday Horror Collection
In 1950s America, the pursuit of the perfect Christmas becomes a gateway to unspeakable horror.
The December Experiments presents thirteen interconnected tales of retrofuturistic terror from rising horror virtuoso S.B. Fates. From the climate-controlled horrors of Crystal Summit Resort to the consciousness-altering carols of Harmony Hills, each story peels back another layer of a vast conspiracy to transform humanity through the power of enforced holiday cheer. In this dark alternate history, cutting-edge science meets ancient winter solstice rituals, creating a uniquely chilling exploration of conformity, consumption, and the price of perpetual happiness.
For fans of John Carpenter's The Thing and Ray Bradbury's darker works, this collection masterfully blends Cold War paranoia with Lovecraftian cosmic horror. Fates crafts a world where every string of Christmas lights might be monitoring your behavior, every cup of hot cocoa could be rewiring your brain, and every snowflake might be part of a larger pattern too terrible to comprehend. Each story builds upon the last, drawing readers deeper into a web of body horror, psychological manipulation, and corporate malevolence, all disguised as holiday spirit.
The greatest gift is your humanity. The question is: how long can you hold onto it?
Perfect for readers who love psychological horror, retrofuturistic science fiction, and dark holiday tales that linger long after the decorations come down. Grab your copy of The December Experiments today and discover why this season's greetings come with a warning label.
