Hark! the Herald Angels Scream by Christopher Golden
4.0
I picked up Hark!The Herald Angels Scream based on the editor alone. I'm a longtime fan of Christopher Golden, so I was stoked to see a short story collection he edited.
Generally, I'm not a big fan of short story collections. I lose momentum half way through and really struggle through to the end. This collection is compiled in a way that it kept the pace up and didn't feel like a drag at all.
The book did not disappoint. The stories range from cringy, weird, unnerving, creepy, and darkly funny (one author really doesn't like the Christmas shoes song).
I had so much fun reading Golden's Christmas horror collection. It reminded me a lot of The No Sleep Podcast with the scares and the fun. I especially enjoyed 'Yankee Swap', 'Good Deeds', and 'It's a Wonderful Knife'.
If you are looking for a little scare to add to this year's Christmas festivities, I highly recommend this wonderful book of fun and chills.
Thanks to Net Galley for an ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.
