"Oh, what it is to realize that the only thing worse than there being somebody there is there being nobody there."
The Haunting Season is a collection of eight ghostly tales. From a Christmas market to a haunted country estate to a London mansion with a girl frozen in death, each story is haunting and brings out the macabre.
This book is perfect for winter. Reading it while cozied up in a blanket, a candle burning, and a cup of tea nearby really set the mood. The stories were atmospheric, chilling, and beautifully written.
I was familiar with 3 of the authors and the rest were new to me. It was hard to pick a favourite as I really enjoyed most of the stories, but I think The Chillingham Chair by Laura Purcell and Confinement by Kiran Millwood Hargrave were my absolute favourites.
It is obviously still winter so I highly recommend this for the season!
