Christmas and Other Horrors: An Anthology of Solstice Horror by Ellen Datlow
5.0
From page one, my Reading Rut was obliterated. I was hooked immediately! Despite loving each story, I couldn’t wait to get to the next.
As a horror reader, I’m always looking for stories to scare me. Not just make me a little uneasy but ACTUALLY scare me. Let me tell you, the authors delivered just that!
Being a Winter Solstice Anthology, I loved the variety of themes, settings, and traditions throughout the stories. Not knowing where in the world the authors would send me next just added to the excitement.
To top it all off, many of these stories were “kid friendly”. Well, if you have a horror loving 10 year old anyway.
As most kids her age, she has the attention span of a gnat. Keeping her attention while reading is an Olympic sport. When she asked me to read to her, she hung on my every word. That just added to my love of the book as a whole.
Thank you to NetGalley and Titan Books for allowing me to read and review Christmas and Other Horrors! I’m excited to grab a physical copy and wind it into our holiday season again this year!
