THE CHRISTMAS YOU KNOW IS HIDING SOMETHING MUCH OLDER AND MUCH DARKER.

Before the glowing windows, the presents beneath the tree, and the picture-perfect Christmas cards, winter meant endless nights, snowbound roads, and stories told beside the fire.

Stories of creatures that arrived on certain nights. Of bells heard in the dark. Of footprints in the snow leading somewhere they shouldn't. Of doors better left unopened and rules no one wanted to be the first to break.

Christmas Horror Tales takes you deep into the darker side of Christmas folklore, blending original horror fiction with documented traditions and legends. Each chapter first opens the door to the nightmare, then reveals the folklore waiting behind it.

Inside, you'll find:

  • 16 original horror stories inspired by creatures and traditions from winter folklore;
  • documented legends, rituals, and beliefs from across Europe;
  • figures such as Krampus, Grýla, the Yule Cat, Frau Perchta, Mari Lwyd, the Wild Hunt, and many more;
  • Creature Files revealing origins, warning signs, threat levels, and the rules worth remembering if something comes knocking;
  • games, rankings, and challenges that pull you deeper into the Christmas we have almost forgotten.
Some of these traditions are ancient. Others are far more recent than they seem. But all of them hide something the modern Christmas season has nearly erased.

And when you think you've reached the end, the book still has one more thing to show you.

Lock the door. Keep the fire burning. Turn the page.
