Read the first two stories, and it was all so bland. Not really my jam, though they're great, easy campfire horror Christmas flicks.

Great plots but the writing could be tighter

Read the first two of the six stories. They were so atrociously boring I couldn't risk reading the rest.

Delightful Christmas stories along with being scary enough for me. I especially loved Snowmen. It amazed me that someone thought of doing that to try and save snowmen from melting and disappearing. Good one! Hoping all the authors had a very awesome Christmas and New Years and are all set to WOW us in 2026!

Sorry, didn't enjoy this collection at all. Very pedestrian and predictable, and seemed rushed somehow. I really wanted to like it as I love horror stories, and shorts are perfect when waiting around (dentist etc) but these really didn't do it for me. The best one was Presents for Raymond, which was the most original of the lot.

This is junk

I only read the first story in this book. It was poorly written, amateurish, and I could not believe it was published. I read a lot of horror. This is the worst I’ve ever read. I didn’t read more than the first story. Absolute garbage.

Read story one. That was about a 2 1/2 - 3 star. I read a little of the next too, but I don’t feel like this collection is for me. It was an impulse free download creepy festive read, so it may appeal to others.

Not bad, but not great.

I was encouraged by this anthology and took to it as my Holiday read. Stories were ok but no real completion. No denouement or wrap up. All open-ended. Not my favorite but still pleasant enough.

Review: If you remember and liked the show Tales from the Crypt and The Cryptkeeper then this book is for you. Triggers abound.

A collection of horror stories with a Christmas theme.

⭐⭐⭐.5

[Evelyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Six short horror stories are in this book. I felt the stories I needed an ending as I was left trying to imagine what happened next. At times the story writing seemed to repeat itself in words.

An easy read. Enjoyed the stories
