A Tree Lighting in Deathlehem: An Anthology of Holiday Horrors for Charity
In Deathlehem, the masses hail,
The Blessed one was born.
They gathered in a manger
On that black December morn.
Among the screams of Mother Mary,
The Babe from her torn.
Dark tidings corrupting hope and joy.
So rest merry gentlemen,
Let Satan’s child play,
Burning bodies light this Christmas tree
In Deathlehem today.
Welcome back, folks. And for you newbies wondering where you are,
that would be Deathlehem…
…where enemies meet on the battlefield to set aside their differences
on this holiest of nights—only to be tormented by a legendary she-demon…
…where irons bars won't keep brothers from spending Christmas
with their mother—much to her dismay…
…where the search for the perfect tree turns into a bloody nightmare…
…where an imprisoned evil has a young couple and their daughter wishing
they'd stayed at home for the holidays…

October is probably not an obvious time to read a collection of Christmas horrors but, in my defence, I'm currently writing a Christmas horror story, so I was trying to get into the spirit of things. I may also have consumed some sherry.
This is my second visit to Deathlehem but all being well it won't be my last. Twenty-five tales of tinsel and gore, and I didn't unwrap a single happy ending. In summary, it was exactly what I was hoping for: a selection of quick and easy-to-read tales, expertly interweaving bloodshed and scares with seasonal fun.
Recommended, especially if you've been naughty.

It was a sweet little Christmas themed anthology. Don’t think of such things as Jingle Bells, mistletoe and the jolly, fat man. Think of blood, death and demons!
Some favorites for me -
