Khrystmass: Holiday Horror Collection - Paperback

by K. a. Schultz (Author)

KHRYSTMASS - Holiday Horror Collection is a book of Krampian short stories and poems by K.A. Schultz
KHRYSTMASS invokes all aspects of this jolly time of year, but then twists and inverts them for horrifically delightful results! Jingle bells receding into the distance, winter winds a-howling, glimmering beings lurking outside in the snow; lights flickering red, and then green...
If you love classic horror, you will love how this collection has fast forwarded rich, dark elements of timeless literature, with Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN's Creature's rest of the story, Dickensian spirits revisited, and beastly saints resurrected just in time for the holidays, to comprise a slew of new, adult horror stories and dark poetry just for you!
And while every story is a stand-alone tale, many stories and the books themselves, NEITHERIUM, GÖTHIQUE, and KHRYSTMASS, are linked by way of lit and tech Easter eggs

Oh, but when flurries strike with such fury
By their crystalline shards the scene is so beautifully lit
Its components snow-feathered, ice-fractiled
'tis by design, this wint'ry distraction!
