The Second Floor Of The Christmas Hotel: 5/5

Definitely gave me Tales From The Crypt vibes. Bonus that I read it while in a hotel, just a bit after Midnight

Snake's Tail: 5/5

I like how it addresses the reader. Very well written and sets itself apart from most other horror

Mistletoe and Holly 4.5/5

A pretty solid story with an ending that leaves it open for a bigger story. i would honestly love to read a whole book based on this story and what comes next. So many ways it could go.

mild pet peeve:
It's established that Ella and Jeanie are dating. You're like " they are an item and she deserves happiness"

Then you call Ella "Jeanie's friend". No. Girlfriend, partner, other half, ect.
Like just say it instead of wussing out at the last second.

It's A Wonderful Knife: 4/5

Even though I had a feeling what would happen from the second page, it was still a fun read and had an interesting twist. Plus, who doesn't love a happy ending?

Good Deeds: 4/5

Pinnacle of dark humor. It feels like a Robot Chicken skit or something similar you'd find on Adult Swim in the 2000s

Tenet: 1.5/5
The lack of grammar was distracting and confusing at times. multiple characters had similar names (ex. Kerry and Berry). The story didn't go anywhere, but had potential.

the writing style on this one is so weird and kinda jarring

"Love Me" - 4/5
Definitely one of the odder ones because the way the creature "attacks". Not bad though. Gives off Tales From The Crypt Vibes.

"Not Just for Christmas" - 3.5/5

Chucky meets Fur Real Friends. Loe the ending and how it can set up for a much bigger horror comedy story. A little too short for me though.

Fresh As Fallen Snow : 3.5/5

I like that it uses actual winter folklore to drive the story. It's also interesting how it's kinda up to you to decide what exactly happened. More bitter-sweet than scary
