About this eBook
Eighteen stories of Christmas horror from bestselling, acclaimed authors including Scott Smith, Seanan McGuire, Josh Malerman, Michael Koryta, Sarah Pinborough, and many more.
That there is darkness at the heart of the Yuletide season should not surprise. Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is filled with scenes that are unsettling. Marley untying the bandage that holds his jaws together. The hideous children--Want and Ignorance--beneath the robe of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The heavy ledgers Marley drags by his chains. In the finest versions of this story, the best parts are the terrifying parts.
Bestselling author and editor Christopher Golden shares his love for Christmas horror stories with this anthology of all-new short fiction from some of the most talented and original writers of horror today.

4.5 Since this is probably my last review before then, ”Merry Christmas, Ya filthy animals!!” (Home Alone) THIS is what I’m talking about! I love Christopher Golden’s work on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s graphic novel omnibuses! He did a FANFRIGGINTASTIC job putting this together! There were a couple funny (I would say one comedy, the rest dark comedy) and bittersweet ones, but for the most part, these were some horror-filled good times! Out of the 18 stories, there were only two that fell flat for me (Tenents and Doctor Velocity). Top 3: Absinthe and Angels, Honor Thy Mother, and Yankee Swap Best Ending: Christmas in Barcelona Buy this for yourself or someone who is not the traditionslist when it comes to Christmas. Or, if you’re twisted, get it for someone who won’t stop Fah-la-lah’ing.
