Hayley Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I came here to post the same thing, I finished it last night 😄. It really was a brilliant collection, they had some great authors with unique styles and varying degrees of creepiness! Did you have a favourite story @lunababymoonchild?

Very difficult to choose but just by the barest of margins it would be Laura Purcell's Carol of the Bells and Chains. Because Krampus is mentioned. Then again, maybe Jenkin by Catriona Ward. Too many to choose from. I don't think that there's a weak story among them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of wish it was a longer story so Spoiler We could get to a happy ending for the nice child 😅 I really liked Jess Kidd’s contribution (because you know I love Victorian supernatural things). Stuart Taunton’s one felt like a very dark version of A Christmas Carol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I didn’t explain what I meant properly! It reminded me of A Christmas Carol because Spoiler Something supernatural shows him the future in order to teach him a lesson and make him realise that he wasn’t a very good person! That just reminds me of Scrooge’s journey, only a lot more horrific and with a less happy ending 😅  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really looking forward to reading this but it's on my Kobo which I lent to someone on my bookgroup so she could read My Sister the Serial Killer. As she's had it for over three weeks now and My Sister is really short I think she must be happily exploring the books I've got on there!

lunababymoonchild Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 I'm offering The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden as a read in this category. Part of it is set in winter and one of the characters is called Winter. Does that qualify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
