My Review:
I was going to sit and write a short review for all 13 stories in the book but after reading it I realized that the stories are rather short and I would give to much away so I will review this as a whole instead. Well, I will be skipping Christmas this year…just kidding…I still love Christmas even though this book pretty much scared the stockings right off my fireplace. This was 13 pretty creepy stories and how they were written gave you just enough to creep you out and the end of each story gave you just enough to REALLY creep you out. I can’t really pick a favorite but they all had me wishing I read this book more during the day than at night.
. For those that might not be a fan of Christmas this is the perfect book for you and for those that love Christmas this book is a fun (and by fun I mean in a scare you into keeping the fireplace lit on Christmas Eve, sort of way) read to remind you that Santa is always watching and you better be good, for goodness sake. Plus NEVER, I mean NEVER open a video game before Christmas and don’t bring home creepy nutcrackers from antique shops.
This is listed as middle grade but it does have some pretty scary stories, so if your kids are into horror this would be perfect for them but if you have a middle grader that scares easily you might want to read the book first before giving it to them.
I highly recommend for anyone that is looking for a good horror Christmas book with 13 amazing stories by some pretty awesome authors. I actually really enjoyed this and was a nice change from all the cute, fluffy Christmas stories. Something different to get you in a Christmas mood…well….sort of. 😉
This book pretty much scared the stockings right off my fireplace! Share on X
Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my review
Hope you have a great day and Happy Reading!
LOL! You skip Christmas? I’m pretty sure that will never happen, Michelle! I’m glad these stories were creepy enough to make you kind of consider it, though :p
Have a great weekend.
Holiday Horror? I want it! lol I added it to my TBR and there’s a giveaway until Dec 5 over on Goodreads. 🙂
After you told me about it I went and pre-order me a copy since it was pretty cheap. 🙂 So now I am just waiting for it to arrive on my kindle. 🙂
*haha* Scary Christmas stories?!? Well, I happen to know someone who’d be a fan. 😉 I’m glad you enjoyed this collection of stories, Michelle, even if they scared your stockings!
I am not a fan of horror, so I’ll stay far away from this one, it does sound really creepy. I do think it’s original that they set these horror stories all around christmas, I think this it the first time I heard about christmas horror stories. And it’s good when a horror book manages to scare you, right? This sure sounds a book you can better read in daylight. Great review!
Thanks for the lovely review! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
13 little stories to make you rethink Christmas LOL 🙂 I loved that it scared the stockings off your fireplace—I most def have to get it now (I just rewatched 2 episodes of The Wire–so most def is back in my vocabulary DANG TV)
