Welcome back to another chilling tale from Carman's Crypt! As we approach the holiday season, I've got a Christmas story that might make you think twice about that perfect tree lot down the winding country road.
In "The Christmas Tree Farm," Shay Middleton just wants to give her daughter Ellie an authentic Christmas experience in their new North Carolina home. A helpful neighbor's recommendation leads them to Whitmore's Christmas Trees—a family farm that's been in business since 1847, where the trees are beautiful, the family is welcoming, and some traditions run deeper than roots.
But at Whitmore's farm, nestled in a hollow between wooded hills, the perfect tree has been waiting for years to be chosen. And as Shay discovers too late, some Christmas trees don't just grow from the soil—they grow from something far more precious, and far more hungry.
This is an original horror story that explores the dark side of holiday traditions, family grief, and the terrible lengths some will go to fill the empty spaces in their hearts. Perfect for your winter listening as the nights grow long and the shadows deepen.
So grab your hot cider, settle in by the fire, and remember—when you're picking out your Christmas tree this year, maybe stick to the commercial lots. Sometimes the most beautiful trees come with the highest price.
Sweet dreams, and welcome to Carman's Crypt.
