As the title suggests, this book will add delightful chills to the holiday season with tales of ghosts and haunted houses. Seven stories of varying lengths, all with a Christmas theme.
The sharing of Christmas/Winter ghost stories, whether oral or written, is a tradition that has persisted for many years, perhaps even centuries. I humbly add to the existing body of works these seven stories:
Spirits in the Night, Exchanging Chances - An elderly man guards his house against the inevitable arrival of a disturbing spirit.
Strange Encounters on the Night Before Christmas - A man at a bar is forced to listen to the ramblings of a mysterious old gentleman who won't stop talking about a nearby haunted house
The Snow People - In the aftermath of a tragedy, a woman wishes to protect her children from grief and sorrow with new beginnings. But some things continue on.
Seasonal Allergies - A story pieced together from found journals about a house in the woods that is hostile to all life forms
Advent Calendar - The parents of a college-aged woman dedicate a whole month to prepare their daughter for some kind of happening that will occur on Christmas. With every passing day, things become more strange.
Winter Solstice and the Secret Spirits - Three friends go on a holiday retreat to a mystical House. There they will play an altered version of Secret Santa. They will ask the House to assign them secret spirits to act as gift bearers. In the end, they might not be fully prepared for the gifts they are about to receive
Secret Spirits Reprise (Children's Version ((Really?)) - A silly poem to reset the mood left over from the previous story.
