Santa may be on the cover but you can read this any time. Unmemory by Kristi DeMeester Horror Fiction , 40 pages Released December 2018 Goodreads  | Buy A Copy Here   An original, 9,000-word short story by Kristi DeMeester, with 10 illustrations by Yves Tourigny. A university student attempts to track down the briefly-glimpsed Christmas film which traumatized her as a child. These Are My Thoughts: Unmemory is a 40 page chapbook. 10 of those pages are beautifully illustrated by artist Yves Tourigny who brings the creep factor to life.
