An interesting Collection of holiday short stories. Eh, not bad but not for me. =)

Some of these stories were ok. I enjoyed the first one, and then they seemed to go downhill from there.

13 different stories about holidays. A few were good the rest I could have cared less for. Not a bad read however.

[Joshua Hair · Rating 2 out of 5]

While some of the stories were decent, this is probably the weakest Greenberg collection I've read thus far. As I said, a few of the stories were okay, but more than that were subpar or simply silly. I wanted to be scared, not scoff at the idea of a giant were-otter. Overall, this one didn't do it for me.

There were some good stories and some not as good. All in all an okay read for October.

A collection of short stories, somewhat spooky in nature. Reminiscent of the Twilight Zone. I only had to DNF one of the 13 for triggers.

I would have given this book a four except the last two stories were dudes. The best story to me was " Voices In An Empty Room", quite a twist. Recommended.
