I Hate When My Christmas Tree Tries to Eat Me by Mary Black Rose
I Hate When My Christmas Tree Tries to Eat Me by Mary Black Rose
What happens when your Christmas tree has a mind of its own—and it’s hungry?
*
This is a collection of three LGBTQ, light-hearted cozy-horror tales about love, chaos, and carnivorous evergreens.
*
Story 1:
I’ve dodged my parents’ “come home for Christmas” guilt trips for years. No more screaming cousins, or Uncle Orem smelling like sadness and pickled feet, and definitely no more green Jell-O “salad.” But when my excuse-job dies, I end up working at Dirk’s Tree Farm. Easy—until the trees start whispering, my boss gives off horror-movie energy, and Tali—my coworker—might be flirting… or sealing my doom.
*
Story 2:
I just wanted the perfect tree for my pregnant girlfriend. Instead, I brought home something with teeth. Now I’m fighting for festive survival between cuddle time and killer-pine attacks. I wanted cute and cozy, not carnivorous.
*
Story 3:
I’ve waited my whole life to leave Dirk’s Tree Farm. Good trees obey… but when chaos erupts, I escape to find out what it means to be a real Christmas tree. Maybe I’ll find love, purpose, and a human snack or two. Pig meat gets old fast.
*
Grab some cocoa and a blanket—but skip the tree trimming this year. These evergreens have bite!

Seduced by the K-POP Star
About Seduced by the K-POP Star:
A viral kiss. A public truth. A love story told in daylight.
Entertainment journalist Kyle McAllister swore off secrets after a broken relationship. His next assignment—shadowing Korean K-pop idol Hak-Kun in Los Angeles—should be strictly professional. But behind the camera flashes and flawless choreography is a shy, funny artist who’s tired of hiding. Late-night tacos, quiet rooftop talks, and a moment on a moonlit beach spark a connection neither expected.
When a blurry photo explodes online, management spin and media noise threaten to drown out what’s real. Kyle must protect his integrity—and his heart—while Hak-Kun decides whether to step to the mic and speak his truth. Choosing honesty could cost him everything…or open the door to a life finally lived in the open.
Set against neon LA nights and the glare of celebrity, Seduced by the K-POP Idol is a sweet, closed-door MM celebrity romance about courage, consent, and finding a hand to hold when the lights come up. Slow-burn tenderness, found-family support, and a hopeful HEA.

Gorilla
THE MONSTER IS ALREADY HERE
From the author of the classic true-life haunted house book “The Uninvited” and the terrifying horror-thriller “Glow,” best-selling horror author Steven LaChance presents his most frightening work yet: “Gorilla,” the second book in his Modern Monsters series.
What if the U.S. government’s MK-Ultra drug-and-mind-control experiments never ended but instead fell into the hands of a crazed Christian evangelist named Michael Neville?
Detective Vincent Rossi returns to the shadows of St. Louis, racing against time to stop an experiment that could turn the world upside down. As brutal killings erupt across the city and the boundary between science and nightmare dissolves, Rossi uncovers a conspiracy stretching from classified archives to modern-day manipulation. “Gorilla” unleashes hordes of killers onto the masses and shatters every false sense of security.
Fast-paced, shocking, and unflinching, “Gorilla” isn’t just a story-it’s a warning. The monsters have always been here, lurking in our shadows and inside our minds.
Brace yourself-if you thought “Glow” was scary or “The Uninvited” kept you up at night, you haven’t seen anything yet. Will you listen before it’s too late?
NOW IS THE TIME FOR MONSTERS!

The Male Luna
Normal was the goal. Fate brought fur and a punchline.
Brayden’s life is a chaotic mess with the appearance of a broodingly possessive Alpha Damien and one ridiculously inconvenient mate bond later. Lukewarm coffee is out and ancient pack laws are in. Brayden is having none of it, determined to resist this unwanted destiny with a full-scale sarcastic rebellion against this supernatural nonsense.
Prepare for a darkly funny rom-com that gleefully claws its way out of the werewolf genre box. While Damien’s possessiveness howls ‘fated mate’, Brayden’s inner monologue is a laugh-out-loud revolt against any predetermined bond.
His wit is sharp. His mate’s teeth are sharper. Who bleeds first in this untamed romance?
