Morte di Natale - Una raccolta di racconti dell'orrore natalizi (Edizione Standard Con Copertina Rigida)
A collection of Christmas horror stories by Mark L'Estrange that twists holiday traditions into terror.

The collection offers a stark contrast to typical Christmas fiction by focusing on death, vengeance, and isolation. Readers will encounter tales where holiday magic is replaced by malevolent forces. The stories are organized to maintain a consistent tone of unease throughout. This approach ensures that the festive setting enhances rather than diminishes the horror elements.
