Blurb
Detectives Williams and Ed Reyes are back.
This holiday season, the town of Cemetery is getting just a little bit stranger.
When a 911 call leads to a decapitated family and one hastily scrawled, bloody message, the duo will stop at nothing to arrest this latest killer.
But when the only witness is claiming Santa Claus is the killer, and the only evidence leads to a supposedly dead patient, they’re left scrambling.
Will they beat the odds and be home for Christmas dinner?
Welcome to Cemetery meets Silent Night, Deadly Night in this yuletide tale of revenge, justice and tinsel-themed references. A dark, humorous, seasonal read.
Note from the Author
While BestGhost was originally released as a reader magnet and then a wide released sampler, Off with their Sleds was made available as a bonus in Tales From Cemetery for those that read short story collections. As I know some people do not read collections, I wanted to make it available elsewhere, as it is a direct sequel to Welcome to Cemetery.
About the Author

C. J. Daley lives in New York. He is the author of Welcome to Cemetery, his full-length crime thriller debut, as well as a full accompanying short story collection. BestGhost was his first sampler on the road to release and the collection published in Fall 2025. He enjoys smaller pieces that give hints to his created worlds at large, and he loves blending genres with dark descriptors. He hopes this won’t be the last you hear from him, and if you enjoyed, please consider leaving a review on Amazon, BookBub, Goodreads, StoryGraph, Literal Book Club—or share with a friend.
