Adapted from an original screenplay slated for film production, the darkly thrilling novel introduces readers to the meanest man in holiday history.
New York, USA – Springtime festivities take a terrifying turn in EASTER: How do you celebrate?, the gripping new book from author and screenwriter Shamell Antone. Also recognized under the alternate titles EASTER: A Shamell Antone Story and EASTER IS CELEBRATED IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS!, this darkly entertaining thriller transforms a season traditionally associated with renewal and celebration into a high-stakes fight for survival.
Originally conceived and written as a screenplay by Antone, and currently slated to be adapted into a feature film, the novel brings cinematic pacing, sharp tension, and visceral suspense straight to the page. At the center of the story is a chilling antagonist: a serial killer on the loose who has chosen Easter as his signature holiday.
For years, the killer has harbored deep-seated resentment, watching from the sidelines and envying his peers as they revel in the joy and togetherness of the season. Now, his bottled-up rage has reached a breaking point. In this fun, fast-paced read, audiences witness the meanest man in holiday history finally snap, unleashing years of pent-up frustration on those around him.
Standing directly in his path is an unsuspecting group of college students whose holiday plans quickly spiral into a waking nightmare. As the danger escalates and the killer closes in, the students are forced to band together, test their limits, and fight for their lives. Readers are left on the edge of their seats asking two burning questions: Will this group of college kids make it out alive, and can they put an end to this holiday nightmare before it is too late?
“Holiday horror has a unique way of taking the familiar and turning it completely upside down,” said author Shamell Antone. “With EASTER: How do you celebrate?, I wanted to explore what happens when someone who feels perpetually shut out of the celebration decides to rewrite the traditions in the darkest way possible, all while keeping the momentum and thrills moving like a movie.”
Blending psychological tension with classic slasher-style suspense, EASTER: How do you celebrate? appeals to fans of seasonal thrillers, horror fiction, and screen-to-page storytelling alike. With its film adaptation on the horizon, the book offers readers an early, immersive look at a story built for the big screen.
