I picked this up for last December’s reading, but I didn’t get to it. So I made a point to get to it this year, and what premium timing, as the book has just been picked up and rereleased be Velox Books! So congrats to the author, and show some support! 

I also recently received an e-ARC of Devil’s Hill II, which is a great horror short story collection too, but better suited for the Halloween season. 

The author is the self-proclaimed Clark Griswold of Halloween and it shows. All of his work is horror or Halloween related, and he does a great job of it besides. 

This collection is horror based Christmas and holiday tales. The author can give us different holidays, but he sticks to his horror roots which I respect. Christmas in the Empty Cabin is the title of one of the short stories, it isn’t the first or last, nor is it really longer than the others, but it’s definitely solid enough to get the title card. 

Personally my favorite short was the last. It’s like the author’s take on Gremlins, Chucky, and any other shopping store/toy-esque horrors. It read like possessed Ferbies eating peoples faces. Terrifying and fun. 

Personally a 4/5* for me. Check it out!
