Summary

A man drives into a blizzard atop the remote hills of the Peak District. It’s Boxing Day, and he’s on his way home following a Christmas spent with family. But the weather’s getting worse, and, in order to avoid losing control of the car, he’s forced to find a place in which to wait out the storm.

His search leads him to the sprawling Miller’s Manor, on the outskirts of Miller’s Dale, wherein an unusual Murder Mystery Event is taking place. Much to his chagrin, he soon finds himself an unwilling participant in what quickly becomes apparent is no ordinary game...

There Were Twelve of Us to Begin With was first presented as HorrorBabble's third Twelve Days of Christmas series, from Dec. 26, 2019, through to Jan. 6, 2020.

Engaging and creepy in the classic horror style

Having been a huge fan of HorrorBabble's work for sometime I was excited to hear some original production and this did not disappoint, in fact it blew my expectations out of the water.

Set over a cold and snowy Christmas/New Year period a group of strangers engage in a classic murder mystery game, but as you would have guessed from a Horror story, things do array in this fast paced unique take on the genre. The action begins almost immediately and does not let up until the thrilling climax - I ended up going through it in one sitting - and never did I find the story slowed or lagged at any point and I'd love to see it expanded out into a longer story so much did I like it.

If you are a fan of classic weird literature and or murder mystery then you will love this. Think Agatha Christie meets HP Lovecraft and set at the Overlook Hotel.
