At last! A collection of short stories that (mostly) do “exactly what it says on the tin“. Nine short stories in the tradition of Christmas ghost stories which give the reader a chill.

The standout stories to me were 'The Wrong Teletubby', 'The Old Folk', & 'Panic Room'. Each of these had a killer twist at the end. This is probably the only collection of short stories I've really enjoyed reading recently, (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf as normally I find short stories a little disappointing. I recommend this is you like stories that send a chill down your spine. 3.5🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Swift Press, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
