The majority of the stories were successes. My favorites were the stories that introduced me to different folklore and legends from across the globe.
The horror felt more psychological than gory. It will be horrifying though, there is no Christmas cheer here.

As with any anthology, there are ups and downs. I really liked many of these stories. They do skew VERY dark, so do not read if you're not up for horror.
Moderate: Fire/Fire injury, Murder, Physical abuse, Blood, Child death, Sexual content, Death, and Body horror
Minor: Violence
