Description
Jump into the gripping world of "Everything Is Temporary," where the Barnes family's peaceful life takes a surprising turn after a tragic event rocks their world. As you read, you'll be drawn into the suspense, wondering how well you really know the people closest to you.
The suspenseful journey begins when Sarah's husband, Tom, starts acting strangely. His mood swings create chaos, leading to unfounded accusations against their thirteen-year-old daughter. But hang on tight, because the tension keeps rising as Tom's actions culminate in a shocking attempt on the life of an off-season mall Santa Claus. What's truly mysterious is Tom's year-round hatred for Christmas, a puzzle that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
In the midst of the turmoil, Tom clings to a forgotten book from his past -- a disturbing story he wrote when he was younger. Its pages reveal a traumatic tale that's almost unbelievable, with talking Christmas trees, an army of living toys, and a sinister figure posing as Mrs. Claus.
"I was riveted by every word and couldn't wait to find out how the story would progress. This is a brilliant portrayal of a family impacted by grief. Each character is relatable and likeable, and even though the situations they find themselves in are utterly crazy, their responses and emotions are believably written."
- MJ Mars, author of The Suffering

"Talk about a crazy rollercoaster ride. This story will have you guessing all the way through as you see things through the eyes of Sarah. Is her husband insane or is he really trying to protect his family?

"I already knew Cohn could write well-crafted stories, and this was no exception. Great characters, an original concept with excellent execution, and compelling storytelling. I particularly enjoyed the was that the author uses first person POV interspersed with the narrative from Tom's book telling the old story. It was very well done and very seamless. Highly recommend this gem!"

"Holiday horror is one of my favorite subgenres and Everything is Temporary by Jon Cohn is now solidly canon. Cohn blends nostalgia with mystery, terror, and a shocking story of grief, and then peppers in dozens of past holiday film/book references that brings the novel to sparkly life. Our main protagonist, Tom Barnes, flip-flops from victim to potential villain so smoothly I honestly found myself wondering what the outcome would be. I loved the inventive Christmas characters, particularly one named Evergreen, and a new version of Mrs. Claus that I'll be thinking about for seasons to come.
If you liked Joe Hill's NOS4A2, Stephen King's IT, and A Christmas Story (you'll shoot your eye out) you'll love this yuletide tale of childhood fears, overcoming grief, and reconciling a haunted past."
