Erin reviewed Christmas and Other Horrors by Ellen Datlow
Review of 'Christmas and Other Horrors' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I feel like I should give this 3 stars because I DNFed 6 of the stories. But I just had a good time with the rest. It provided the creepy winter/Christmas feel I wanted. For the most part the stories delivered on the horror, though I found myself wanting more horror than I got sometimes.
My favorites:
1) His Castle - A couple's holiday in Wales is interrupted by slightly menacing villagers, but the couple isn't exactly defenseless...
2) The Ghosts of Christmases Past - A couple hole up every Christmas because of the wife's fears, and the husband is getting tired of it. But maybe he should listen. :)
3) All the Pretty People - A group of friends come together for a Festivus party, and they puzzle over the one friend that has ghosted them for months. Then she shows up and reveals ensue!
