It's time to bring some horror to your festivities...



I read the first volume last year and upon completion I immediately bought volume 2. I never had a chance to read it until now but as soon as I finished I ordered the new one because they seem to just get better as they go. This is a quick read at 160 pages.  I enjoyed all the stories and the illustrations too. I can't say that I cared much for the poems or reworked Christmas Carols but I did enjoy the stories.
Some of my favorites were Me and My Christmas Jumper in which a lonely, meek, and mild office worker has a drastic personality change. The Present which is written in three installments spread throughout the book, about a mysterious gift that ruins lives, and Christmas Night Of The Living Dead in which a boy who wants to hunt down zombies is made to take his poor old granny along.
Sprinkled with dark humor and seasoned with fear this second volume of Christmas Horror is the perfect recipe for a merry and macabre holiday.
4 out of 5 stars
