The Scary Book of Christmas Lore: 50 Terrifying Yuletide Tales from Around the World by Tim Rayborn
4.0
I enjoyed this book, but the title and sub header are misleading. These aren’t 50 tales of folklore, implying actual stories, it’s actually more of an explainer of other countries Christmas myths about creatures or beings that aren’t Santa Claus.
The book consists of 50 entries of 2-3 page explainers of each myth and its written pretty bluntly and succinctly which I enjoyed. They are brief but contain mostly relevant info and most of the entries have good artwork to go with it.
Don’t go into this thinking the folklore is actual scary tales; it’s more of a handy pocket guide to Christmas myths around the world. It’s good in this role!
