⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Wesley Winters delivers a cohesive anthology that effectively weaponizes familiar holidays against the reader, maintaining a relentlessly dark tone throughout. The structure, moving chronologically from New Year's Eve to Christmas, creates a cumulative sense of dread that appeals to fans of graphic horror and true crime aesthetics. By focusing on themes like romantic obsession and ritual sacrifice, the collection offers variety within its extreme framework. However, this is strictly for hardened readers; those with weak stomachs or expectations of light seasonal fiction will find it unbearable. The book succeeds in its goal to frighten its specific audience by refusing to soften its violent imagery, making it a potent, if polarizing, addition to the horror canon.
