The Colour Out of Deathlehem

 

Welcome back to Deathlehem, where…

…the holiday décor has a voracious appetite…
…your past can—and will—come back to haunt you…
…a one-night stand leads to an unexpected climax…
…a son brings home more than nightmares from his tour of duty…
…and many more!

Twenty-four more tales of holiday horrors to benefit
The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.











Not many folks in these stories are having the merriest of times but some are getting exactly what they deserve.
A few of my favorites involved a ghost who haunts a run down tenement building, a man who visits an unusual toymaker when he helps a lost boy get home,  a witch who is spending the holidays with her daughter and abusive son-in-law, and a miraculous gift exchange in which you do not get to choose what you give.

I enjoyed every story in this collection. The holidays may be over but you can keep Christmas in your heart (and all your other organs and entrails too) with this frightfully festive anthology from Grinning Skull Press.
