Drace (dracenines) | 7713 comments There are errors to clean up with the anthology Christmas and Other Horrors.

1. Hardcover: Christmas and Other Horrors: A Winter Solstice Anthology (ISBN 9781803363264)

- The page count is incorrect. WorldCat confirms 440: https://search.worldcat.org/title/140...

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket:

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…

Additionally, whoever attempted to add all the contributors misspelled Nick Mamatas and M.

5. Audible: Christmas and Other Horrors: An Anthology of Solstice Horror (ASIN B0CN7RRHKF)
