As with any anthology, I expect to come across a wide range of stories–some resonate with me, others leave me feeling . . .nothing.

We all know that themed anthologies can be hit-or-miss, but this one is a hit, with a wealth of consistently fine, clever, and often ghoulishly humorous horror tales that are all set in the winter season. This is the perfect volume to curl up with on a cold winter's night, while sipping a hot toddy, and praying that Santa isn't seeing you when you're sleeping.
