Turn off the lights for tonight's chilling tale of holiday horror.

A college student accepts an invitation to spend the holiday with a friend's family. But the dining room holds something wrong: Nana Jo sits motionless at the head of the table hours before dinner, staring at an empty seat with food that looks days old on her plate. They soon realise this family's Thanksgiving has a permanent, unexpected guest.

A haunting story about the anchors that hold the dead in place and the families who silently accept their presence year after year.

Perfect for grown-ups who dread holiday gatherings for reasons they can't explain.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.
