'At Christmas time,' said the stranger in the chimney corner,' folks seem to think themselves privileged to ask other folks to tell stories.' Arm yourself with the seasonally gripping stories contained in 'Chillers for Christmas' and you will never be at a loss when,gathered around the flickering hearth on a Christmas Eve,someone suggests the traditional Christmas tale.'Chillers for Christmas' brings together twenty-seven deliciously spine-chilling tales set in locations as diverse as India,France and Somerset and spanning over a century of story-telling,but all united by their Christmas theme.Here you will find not only stories of the supernatural,but also classic Christmas thrillers from such well-loved writers as Rudyard Kipling and Arthur Conan Doyle.The traditional Victorian Christmas ghost story is well represented with seasonal offerings by Frank Cowper and George Manville Fenn while modern chillers from the best of our contemporary writers of the genre are included in six stories written especially for this volume.So close the curtains against the howling wind,pull up a chair to the fire and settle down with this festive collection of hauntings and horrors.And don't forget to bolt the door,just in case . . .See also rja2213 and rja2214 for other Christmas anthologies by this editor.
