I quite enjoyed this collection of short stories. It was interesting to read different stories based on the spooky side of the Christmas period. I've never heard of this tradition before.

A lot of the stories were very dark and some of them did spook me a bit when I was walking home in the dark.

This is a nice little read if you want to read something that has Christmas undertones but still has that spooky Halloween feel.
