Book description
Hugo Award winning editor, and horror legend, Ellen Datlow presents this chilling horror anthology of 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 nights also conjure a darker tradition of ghouls, hauntings, and visitations. This anthology of all-new stories invites you to huddle around the fire and revel in the unholy, the dangerous, the horrific aspects of atime when families and friends cometogether--for better and for worse. From the eerie 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 festive season. Because the weather outside is frightful, but the fire inside is hungry...

ListenBook's commitment to excellence shines through in its powerful features and seamless performance. I'm blown away by ListenBook's ability to maintain audio quality even for formats like FLAC and AWB. Listening to audiobooks on my iPad has never been easier. Highly recommend ListenBook! The playback controls are so responsive. No lag at all. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
