Read half the book this year and will come back for the rest next year. Overall a solid collection, but my favorite is definitely Jeff Strand's story.

Great compilation of creepy holiday horror. Several amazing authors with some great tales with open endings.

Cute compilation of holiday stories. While this is a "horror", they were more of the creepy type. As with all short-story compilations, some were better than others. My favorite was the last one in the book "The Hangman's Bride". It was also the longest. All in all, a nice sit-around-the-fire-while-it's-cold-outside compilation.

4 Stars - I Really Liked This Book

Read this for my online book club, and I have to say I am incredibly pleasantly surprised by this collection. I think I’ve found a new holiday read - not every story was a winner but there were some DOOZIES in here that delivered everything I hoped for and more.
