Summary: "From chained ghosts to blood-soaked Santas, the tradition of Christmas horror stretches from Dicken's A Christmas Carol on up to the controversial Silent Night, Deadly Night and gremlins. [This book] dives deep into the dark side of the season with tales of commercialism and desire run amok, of hauntings and ghostly revenge, and a of pure terror. Christmas, not Halloween, is horror's most fertile realm, as seen in the eighteen original, harrowing, and chilling stories collected here."-- Back cover.
