About this listen
Hugo Award-winning editor, and horror legend Ellen Datlow presents a terrifying and chilling horror anthology of original short stories exploring the endless terrors of winter solstice traditions across the globe, featuring chillers by Tananarive Due, Stephen Graham Jones, Alma Katsu, and many more.
The winter solstice is celebrated as a time of joy around the world—yet the long nights also conjure a darker tradition of ghouls, hauntings, and visitations. This anthology of all-new stories invites you to huddle around the fire and revel in the unholy, the dangerous, the horrific aspects of a time when families and friends come together—for better and for worse.
From the eerie Austrian Schnabelperchten to the skeletal Welsh Mari Lwyd, by way of ravenous golems, uncanny neighbors, and unwelcome visitors, Christmas and Other Horrors captures the heart and horror of the festive season.
Because the weather outside is frightful, but the fire inside is hungry . . .

A Great Seasonal Horror Read
I really enjoyed this one. The voice actors are both brilliant! My only criticism is for the story set in Wales. If the actor can't do a Welsh accent, that's fine, it's hard! But you cannot mispronounce a British swear word in a story set in Britain, to which the characters are native.
I'm sorry if that's needlessly picky but it bothered me.
Other than that, I didn't enjoy a few of the stories so it didn't make 5 stars, but there were plenty I did enjoy so I'd definitely recommend.

Stories are good but the voice actors were limited
I wanted to like this audiobook more than I did. I gave up on the poor, monotonous and badly cast voice acting (2 very American voices reading stories from all over the globe, mispronouncing and misunderstanding terms) and got a print copy of the stories. I did get into many of them in print that made no sense or were poorly enacted by the voice actors.
