Its my spooky festive pleasure to discuss this book today on the blog tour.
What happens when you mix Halloween and Christmas? From the twice CWA Dagger shortlisted author of The Twelve Strange Days of Christmas come thirteen twelve stories to transport you to the macabre world of inexplicable phenomena.
As the dark winter nights get longer, prepare to lose yourself in the world of the strange. With a tale for each day of Christmas and a rather unlucky 13th, Christmas is not the only spirit in these pages. ‘Tis the season for sacrificial feasts, cultish communities and a train with a rather final destination. So wrap up warm and let yourself get lost in the world of the strange, the scary and the supernatural…
Bobs and Books honest review:
I am one of those people who prefers Halloween to Christmas (yes really) but when getting the opportunity to blend them, I couldn't miss out. A great set of stories set on a Christmas backdrop with lots of Christmas themes glittering through the dark and creepy goings on. Don't think I had a stand out favourite short story, all had their own quirks and nuances.
Although, the unlucky thirteenth story is one to remember....
Festive, freaky and fantastic.
