Megan says:

 If you’re after the “scary ghost stories” that Andy Williams was singing about in It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year then you’ll love this brilliantly spooky collection of festive tales. Christmas and Other Horrors is a fascinating look into the traditions and folklore of many different countries and cultures that surround this time of the year. It’s also great if, like me, you’re a bit of a wimp but want to dip your toe into the world of horror literature as you’re introduced to a number of highly acclaimed horror authors (and also you can do something nice and cosy and not scary in between each story)

Hugo Award winning editor, and horror legend, Ellen Datlow presents this chilling horror anthology of 18 original short stories exploring the endless terrors of winter solstice traditions across the globe, featuring chillers by Tananarive Due, Stephen Graham Jones, Alma Katsu and many more.

The winter solstice is celebrated as a time of joy around the world—yet the long winter nights also summon a darker tradition of ghouls, ghost tales, and horror. This anthology of all-new stories invites you to huddle around the fire and revel in the unholy, the dangerous, the horrific aspects of a time when families and friends come together—for better and for worse.

From the terrifying Austrian Schnabelperchten to the skeletal Welsh Mari Lwyd, by way of ravenous golems, uncanny neighbors, and unwelcome visitors, Christmas and Other Horrors captures the heart and horror of the winter season.

Because the weather outside is frightful, but the fire inside is hungry…
