Nothing celebrates the festive season quite as well as a advent calendar of horror stories. I love the fact that you get to read so many authors and so many styles of writing all in the one place. Its a great book and part of a really great collection of books by the Twisted50 team. If you love the genre then you need to check them all out!

Interesting Anthology
If I had to describe this collection of creepy tales in a word, it would be "discomfited." Several of these stories are truly creepy, some of them very unsettling, and the rest interesting if not as catchy. The "advent calendar" idea was quite clever. The addition of the early-1900s tales was nicely done. I know I'll be looking up several authors in this book for other writings of theirs.

4.5 ⭐-
I absolutely loved this spooky little Christmas horror anthology! my favourite story was 'The E.D.P' by Aaron Nash. Usually with anthologies for me, I only really like a couple of the stories, but I honestly enjoyed every single one in this book! Definitely a good edition to my Christmas horror collection!
