Publisher's Synopsis
Since the dawn of time, mankind has feared the darkest months, and held hope for the return of Spring.
Our ancestors spent the long nights hunched over the fire, telling stories to curdle the blood. It is a Christmas tradition that has endured, with renowned authors such as Charles Dickens and M.R. James contributing to the genre. Here, then, are five new blood-stained tales, where the long-dead arise, seeking vengeance. Read this after the children have been put to bed, near a roaring fire, with a glass of Smoking Bishop ready at hand. The spirits are calling, and these are the nights they walk the earth.
