Carol: Being a Ghost Story of Christmas

MARNIE IS DEAD, TO BEGIN WITH. There is no doubt whatever about that. So who the hell sent Carol this text? Born Christmas Day eighteen years ago, Carol Davis is known for anything but holiday spirit. Sharp-tongued and self-centered, she's made her way to the pinnacle of high school by walking over anyone who stands in her way, be they enemy, friend, or even family. Visited by the ghost of her best friend on the anniversary of her December drowning, Carol learns that a horrible fate awaits her and only by facing the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come can she avoid the coming darkness. With each spectral visitation, she's taken down a familiar yet fresh path of discovery, uncovering the innocent girl she used to be, accepting the bitter young woman she has become, and yearning for a future where she can dare to love again. As the clock strikes midnight on Christmas Eve, Carol has one last chance to turn her life around, but have the Spirits come too late to change the course of destiny?
