Hark! the Herald Angels Scream by Christopher Golden
5.0
Christmas comes early this year thanks the new short story collection Hark! The Herald Angels Scream.
If you like your Christmas more "Silent Night, Deadly Night" than "it’s a Wonderful Life", then Blumhouse and Anchor Books (a division of Penguin Random House) has the book for you.
Hark! The Herald Angels scream is a fantastic collection of short stories edited by Bram Stoker Award-winning author, Christopher Golden that is sure to add that Halloween feeling to your holiday season.
There are 18 stories written by award winning authors including Josh Malerman author of Bird Box, Scott Smith author of The Ruins, Seanan McGuire author of the Wayward Children series, Elizabeth Hand author of the Cass Neary novels, Generation Loss being one of my personal favorites and Sara Pinborough whose 2017 novel Behind Her Eyes topped international bestseller charts (that ending!!)
The stories run the horror gamut from sinister babysitters to animate creche figures, absinthe induced hallucinations to uninvited Christmas party guests. From an old fashioned Christmas in London to a Hollywood insider’s Christmas party and the worst version of a Yankee gift swap ever, there is something for everyone.
My personal favorite stories were “Good Deeds” by Jeff Strand about a Christmas song written after being overcome by the spirit of holiday giving and “Not Just for Christmas” by Sarah Lotz, about actually getting that puppy for Christmas.
I definitely recommend this book and some of my friends will be finding this under their Christmas tree this year.
My review will be published on https://scariesthings.com/category/books/
in early November so others can add this to their holiday shopping list as well!
