Christmas Chills: 10 Tales of Horror for the Festive Season

Imagine it is 3 p.m. on Christmas Eve. The windows are full of a soft, Christmassy darkness, punctuated by the glow of fairy lights. You sit, in front of a roaring, log fire, with a hot cocoa or a glass of brandy beside you, and a new book of ghost stories on your lap. For there is nothing more seasonal than a ghost story and Christmas Eve, a night of quiet and magic, is the perfect night to hear the ghosts rattling their paper chains. But take care, for these stories are not necessarily for the faint of heart and not all ghost stories tuck you up and kiss you goodnight. Within this creepy collection of ten tales, I have tried to include a variety of styles and lengths of story, so as to appeal to as many readers as possible. I have therefore included something for the modern horror fan as well as the aficionado of the ghost story. Consequently, these tales alternate between the humorous, the pleasantly frightening and the downright disturbing. You may find, within these pages, more terror, horror and humour, than even you are prepared for.They are not suitable for children. You have been warned!This collection contains 10 brand new stories and author's notes. It is 24,000 words approximately.
