In this haunting New Jersey retelling of A Christmas Carol, Vince Carbone—developer, dealmaker, and destroyer of history—prepares to return home to finalize a plan that will erase another piece of the past. But on the night before his trip, a familiar scent of burning garlic drifts through his Naples mansion… and the ghost of Tony DeLuca appears with a warning Vince can’t ignore.

What follows is a spectral journey into Vince’s buried childhood, the truth behind his Nonna’s death, and the ghosts who refuse to stay buried.
This is a Christmas ghost story rooted in Newark’s Italian-American streets, Jersey folklore, and the shadows we try to outrun.

A Jersey Carol blends supernatural fiction, New Jersey history, and a deep dive into legacy, guilt, and redemption. The spirits are coming—and in New Jersey, even ghosts have something to say.
