Santa's Final List: The Naughty Never Leave

In a forgotten corner of the postal distribution center, an ancient document awakens each December-the true Naughty List, a self-writing ledger older than Christmas itself. It does not punish. It erases.

Elliot Grady, an overworked mail sorter, thinks he's imagining things when letters begin arriving addressed to "Whoever's Listening." But when one envelope refuses to be delivered-and reveals his own name fading from reality-he is pulled into a holiday nightmare where missing children aren't kidnapped... they're rewritten.

As black snow falls and festive shadows walk the warehouse aisles, Elliot uncovers the truth: the List feeds on unspoken wishes, child-sized fears, and the quiet hope that life might be easier without someone. Now the List has judged his family-and he is next.

To survive, Elliot must descend into the Workshop Below, face the Listmaker, and rewrite the rules of December itself before his world forgets he ever existed.

Psychological horror meets winter folklore in this chilling tale where holiday magic turns predatory and every line on the List is a life waiting to vanish.

Some names get crossed off.

Others get erased.
