An Apocalyptic Christmas Short Story
Giant trapdoor spiders have launched an assault against the human race and appear to be winning the war. Civilization crumbles, and all hope begins to fade.
Nonetheless, even during these terrible times, Christmas still manages to arrive. John, trapped on a farm with his only surviving daughter, desperately tries to find a way to give his little girl some type of holiday joy. To his surprise, John soon discovers Christmas miracles might, in fact, be real as the perfect present arrives on their front doorstep.
The only problem is, he may have to race against time to salvage this miracle before the spiders snag it in their deadly traps...

While it was sad, it was also a cool short story. It was a different take on the post-apocalyptic theme with the human race being killed off by spiders. I could see this being rewritten into a longer story and I'd be interested in listening/reading that! I'd recommend this to others.
Loved this story!

I really enjoyed this brief romp, and could stand to see it more fully realized in a bigger setting a novella maybe? Gray has a smart punchy style that pulls you in immediately, she hits the ground running, and hits you hard at the end. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.
A great short story that will give you the creepy crawlies.

John has survived in this horrifying world with his daughter as they are protected from the insects. The decision to try to get a Christmas tree in order to create a special day proves disastrous.
This short story fits with Ms. Gray’s horror oeuvre and I enjoyed it. Terry F. Self narrates many of Roma’s stories and he does a great job. I enjoy his work and look forward to listening to more of these books.

What made the experience of listening to Trapdoor the most enjoyable?
It was a perfect little nugget. I am not always a fan of the short story because it feels like it ends before you could settle in and really begin. But this story did not disappoint. It was the perfect bridge into the next book I listen to.What did you like best about this story?
Even for a short story everything you needed was there. In 11 minutes i knew all I needed to know about the scene and the characters. I felt I knew John and his life's goals.Which character – as performed by Terry F. Self – was your favorite?
The only character that we meet in the story was John.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
