Christmas Gothic Short Stories by Flame Tree Studio (Literature and Science), Jerrold E. Hogle

rosekk's review

4.0

This is probably my favourite of all the Flame Tree collections I've read so far. I loved nearly all the stories. I didn't have very high hopes of a Christmas-themed collection (I bought it mainly out of curiosity), but there was a great balance of tales. Some of them were funny, others were real horror stories. Similarly the blend of older stories to new ones struck a good balance, and they didn't feel too incongruous beside one another.
