Christmas, the year's most revered holiday, has long been associated with joy, peace, and gift-giving. But for just as long, though largely forgotten or overlooked to maintain a positive festive mood and to keep the holiday "kid-friendly," were depictions of the season's darker side that could also encompass tales of horror. Deadly monsters stalking the night during the Yuletide season; brutal serial killers who dress as Santa Claus while committing their gruesome deeds; and scary ghost stories connected to the season are all Christmas horror tropes we have seen in short stories, novels, and cinema - and all are represented in this tome as Wild Hunt Press now takes a step into the darker side of Yule. The above Christmas horror themes are brought to you via four original short stories by Christofer Nigro, the author of the teen werewolf novel series Nero (beginning with Nero: The Beast Emerges), also published by Wild Hunt Press. And since no Christmas horror anthology would be complete without a tale featuring Santa's favorite Yuletide monstrosity, a short story featuring the Krampus by Dustin Dreyling, the author of the daikaiju horror novel series Primordial Soup, provided as a free PDF download by Wild Hunt Press as a gift to readers on Christmas 2020, is included here for the first time in a published tome as a bonus to Yule horror-lovers. Rated Ex (Explicit) for graphic violence, strong language, sexuality & sexual violence, intense themes, and disturbing imagery. Sensitive readers are strongly cautioned.
