Welcome to Litsy!

This was a very mixed bag. A lot of so-so stories, with just a couple stand-outs. My favorites were by Tananarieve Due, Christopher Golden & Stephen Graham Jones. 3⭐️
#bookspin done!

Like a lot of short story collections some stories were good and some…not so much. A few were quite unique but to be honest most of them just didn‘t really capture my attention. It definitely counts as something different for Christmas reading so that‘s a plus in my book! 🌟🌟🌟

1. Making pumpkin pie at least twice (Thanksgiving and my birthday), lasagna for Christmas dinner, tidepooling, seeing light displays (professional and amateur).

2. Tagged, but really all of them. I'm just looking forward to reading!

I couldn't help it, I just had to make myself another holiday horror aesthetic. 😁 #naughtylistholidayswap #NLHS

Matches are sent—time to share your horrific holiday aesthetic! Post images, fave movies or lore to inspire your secret match while they shop.

I‘m into Krampus, ghost stories & holiday horror like Gremlins & Violent Night. I also love cute movies with a creepy edge, like The Grinch (loneliness & redemption) & Rudolph (bullying, societal pressure, & harsh parenting). What inspires your delightfully dreadful holiday style? #naughtylistholidayswap

This Christmas horror anthology looks good!

Yay! A new “winter solstice” anthology. We read this for book club and I was happy it was a pretty solid collection with a good range of what can make up this sub-genre. The writers that I thought nailed the assignment were the ones that did something relatively simple very well. There were a few duds (and no Krampus, even though he‘s on the cover!!), but overall I thought it was a solid collection! Check it out.

For those who like to read horror and ghost stories around Christmas, the tagged is an excellent anthology. The lineup of authors is awesome, and Ellen Datlow is a great editor.

Like most short story anthologies, this collection runs the gamut between great and awful. Some of these are terrifying creature tales, some are more noir, and others are more tedious lit-fic. I had hoped for more Yule folklore terror.

I love anthologies edited by Ellen Datlow. She knows how to put together an enjoyable reading experience. The horror found within ran the gamut from gory to more cerebral. 5 stars. Whopping 5,160 Word Search.

My book might seem a little out of sorts for the #HyggeHourReadathon, but I‘m enjoying it. I have on my festive and comfy leggings.

Taking a break from Christmas horror drabbles and reading this book of short stories.
