Another Christmas Tale is not a heartwarming holiday story.
In snow-covered European cities at the end of the nineteenth century, children begin to see something waiting outside their windows on Christmas night. Not everyone can see it. Not everyone survives the encounter. From that moment on, an ancient and unseen presence becomes bound to their families-and to the very meaning of the holiday itself.
More than a century later, three men discover they share the same inheritance: grandfathers marked by fear, silence, and an inexplicable hatred of Christmas. When they decide to confront the origin of that trauma, they will learn that some wishes never fade... and that every promise fulfilled demands a terrible price.
Dark, atmospheric, and deeply unsettling, Another Christmas Tale is a supernatural horror novella about desire, immortality, sacrifice, and the dangers of wanting too much.
Because some gifts should never be opened.
And some wishes should never come true.
This book is perfect for readers who enjoy:
Supernatural horror with a literary tone
Dark reinterpretations of classic traditions

BOOK DETAILS

Standalone story
Note to readers
This is not a cozy Christmas tale.
It is a dark holiday horror story for adult readers.
Copperwhite's Dark Tales is a collection of standalone dark stories that explore the shadowed boundaries of faith, guilt, secrecy, and human obsession.
Set in isolated places and closed worlds-monasteries, forgotten institutions, remote houses, and moral labyrinths-these tales delve into moments where belief becomes fear, silence hides truth, and devotion turns into danger.
Each volume brings together unsettling narratives driven not by monsters or spectacle, but by the quiet horror of conscience, the weight of unspoken sins, and the fragile line between salvation and corruption.
Copperwhite's Dark Tales is written for readers who seek atmospheric, psychological darkness-where the most terrifying truths are not supernatural, but deeply human.
