Christmas in the Empty Cabin and Other Holiday Tales by E. Reyes
5.0
Midnight Visitors 4⭐️
Sophie, a 12 year old girl, stays up a little too late and sees something she will never be able to unsee. So cool! I’ve never read anything Día de los Muertos related before, so this was fun.
My Brother Daniel 5⭐️
Brandon goes home for Thanksgiving and finds his normally sullen reclusive brother Daniel is happy and talkative. That ending!!! Love it.
The House by the Woods 5⭐️
On the way home from school, Luke always passes one particular house he’s drawn to. One day, a girl comes out he’s never seen before. She needs his help. A good coming of age story!
Christmas Blues 4⭐️
Short, but sweet. Barry is desperate for some Christmas money, so he goes for a job only few have ever done before.
Christmas in the Empty Cabin 5⭐️
Jake and Daniel are on their annual winter camping trip when Daniel gets injured. Jake goes for help when he finds an old cabin. I loved this story! It’s very reminiscent of old Christmas horror stories.
A Scurry Furry Christmas 5⭐️
Tom is going to work at a major retail chain on Christmas Eve. That’s it. That’s the horror story. As an ex-retail worker, I have to say this was my favorite of the collection. It was funny while still being terrifying. I’m also terrified of dolls or doll-like things, so thanks for the nightmares!
