Description
Elliot is a burned-out firefighter on the verge of suicide in a modern reimagining of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Can a succession of ghostly visitors one Christmas Eve help Elliot face his demons before it’s too late?
Following the feature story are five additional tales of supernatural and psychological suspense. A solitary night janitor battles a sinister man in black (Janitor). A firefighter fails to heed an otherworldly warning (Death Alarm). A happily married man spirals into obsession over a comment by an internet troll (CatchTime). A man runs for his life down a dark country lane pursued by a stranger with murder in mind (Skelwaller Lane). A paramedic’s haunting secret threatens to destroy her life (DOA).
Written from the heart of a firefighter who has seen his own struggles, A Firefighter Christmas Carol and Other Stories is as honest as it is moving.
Advance Praise
“…sinister and gripping.” Raju Chacko, Reedsy reviewer.
“Not for the faint of heart. This author has a fantastic way of leading you on a path that seems sound and then pulling the rug from under your feet. Douglas R. Brown has a wonderful writing style. Definitely a recommended read.” ~ Marion, Goodreads Reviewer.
"I saw myself in the character and how my perspective had changed throughout the years. Every firefighter and healthcare provider can relate to how their view changes from the beginning of the heir career. We often don't recognize it, but this change occurs in everyone, slowly over time. The author's account is a valuable lesson for anyone related to or in the profession of taking care of others." Columbus, Ohio Division of Fire Chief Jeffrey Happ
