Gifts of the Magi: a Speculative Holiday Collection

Gifts of the Magi: a Speculative Holiday Collection

E. Chris Garrison
3.8/5 ( ratings)
Stories for Christmas, authors for the New Year!

Find within this magical tome 14 NEW original holiday-themed stories of fantasy, horror and science fiction by a talented group of authors--plus one holiday essay. The tales from our Magi vary from the light and satirical to the dark and serious, and we've shuffled the deck to keep you guessing.

• A time guardian may have to choose between preserving reality or destroying the man she loves.
• A snowman comes to life, but he's not a happy soul.
• Santa makes a terrible bargain in order to save Christmas.
• On Christmas Eve, a furious fairy princess attacks a double-decker bus.
• Two secret agents attend an exclusive Christmas party with an unusual price of admission.
• Soldiers in the midst of the zombie apocalypse try to find the Christmas spirit.
• A boy and his father confront an alien creature on the Longest Night.
• A mercenary packing magical pistols battles a monster while Christmas shopping for her werewolf boyfriend.
• Steampunk detectives find themselves fending off Christmas "elves."
• Humans exiled to an alternate world blend alien and human holiday traditions.
• A banished prince with a magic chicken finds a nearly drowned soldier--so says the storyteller.
• A bounty hunter searches for a rogue elf.
• A traumatized punk girl confronts the spirits from the worst night of her life.
• In a dystopian future, Christmas is outlawed.
• ...And Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author Nicole Cushing reveals the holiday specials that she feels deserve "lumps of coal."
