A review by kingarooski
Sunless Solstice. Strange Christmas Tales for the Longest Nights by British Library

5.0

Brilliant collection of a wide range of short stories set at and around the mid-winter time. They are arranged in chronological order from around 1890s to mid 1970s. Some of the authors are familiar to modern readers (Muriel Spark, Daphnie Du Maurier) and others are more obscure. There are some unsettled elements here, but nothing is scary, just very atmospheric. My favourites were probably On the Northern Ice by Elia Wilkinson Peattie and Dr Huffam by Hugh Walpole. Great reads for this time of year.
