****Note: Snowbirds appears as a bonus novella in Advent, a Christmas horror collection. If you have Advent, you already own Snowbirds.**** Liv is thrilled to leave high school behind and visit her grandmother for a sunny Florida Christmas. Things haven't been going so well for her, and this family trip could be the perfect escape. Her grandmother, Connie, is also excited. She's decorated the tree, embroidered new stockings for the whole family, and baked a fresh batch of her son's favorite cookies. Everything is set for a perfect Christmas visit. Until Liv and Connie discover that not everyone in Florida is there for a peaceful retirement. Some of them have come to lie in wait for their next meal. And the wait is almost over... What they're saying about Snowbirds: "Daniel Pyle is a master at crafting tales that leave a mark. You may want to look away from the carnage...but you won't. You know you won't..." "Liv was an absolute joy to read about. She was strong, brave, and quick-witted. The story was so well written and it read so smoothly that I blinked and I was finished reading it. What an incredibly disturbing and enjoyable journey."
