Where do all the unwanted toys really go? Unfortunately, there is no island of misfit toys, so discarded toys all end up in one place - THE DUMP. Santa and the elves are hard at work preparing new toys for Christmas... that is until Santa sees that children are throwing all their old toys away to make room for bigger, better presents!

"Creepy, powerful, wonderfully twisted."--New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry Don’t Go in the Basement In a brutal spasm of bad luck, Tom and Jenny Decker lose both their cheap Manhattan apartment and their barely-above-minimum-wage jobs. Their luck runs hot when they stumble upon a surprisingly affordable house in the suburbs, an old friend of Tom’s offers him an amazing opportunity, and Jenny discovers that she’s pregnant. But there are dark secrets galore in the Deckers’ new/old house. The place has a violent past. There’s a thing in the basement, a bizarre chrysalis Tom conceals from Jenny. Touching it makes him feel like a winner, like he can tackle any challenge—the mortgage, the commute, impending fatherhood. Until the night everything goes horribly wrong and the Deckers’ dream life is exposed as the phantom it always was. The night the chrysalis starts to hatch.

Fans of the greatest reindeer of all will have a double helping of Christmas fun with this collection, which includes the title story plus "Rudolph Shines Again." Near and dear to so many hearts, this is the story, the original story, of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, written by Robert L. May in 1939. Rudolph, loveable and generous, humble and good, embodies the spirit of Christmas, and reminds us of the magical possibilities that exist within us all. In the companion story, "Rudolph Shines Again," Rudolph loses his light and is certain he is of no use to Santa now; he decides to go far away, where no one knows how bright his nose used to be. But on his journey, something magical happens. As enchanting as the original story, Robert L. May's uplifting sequel to his classic tale Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a joyous celebration of the spirit of Christmas. Also included in the audio is a selection of holiday songs for kids to help you ring in the season: "Jingle Bells," "Up on the Housetop," "Deck the Halls," "Over the River and through the Woods," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and "O, Christmas Tree."
