Upcoming Book Aims to Put the Spooky Back Into Christmas
EntSun News/10903597
POPLAR GROVE, Ill. - EntSun -- While it's a largely forgotten tradition in the United States, spooky stories, ghosts and Christmas go together. In the UK and Canada spooky stories are a normal part of Christmas tradition. One of the most beloved Christmas stories, "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens is really a ghost story. The rich tradition of telling scary stories for Christmas has been largely discarded in the United States. Poplar Grove, Illinois' Tales of Wonder and Dread Publishing is hoping to change that with "Horrifying Holidays: Holiday Spookfest," set for release on November 4th. It's part of T.O.W.D.'s Gary Hill's campaign to "put the spooky back into Christmas."
"Horrifying Holidays" is a collection of fiction and non-fiction stories, with all the tales having a Christmas angle to them. It actually opens with a poem about Krampus from Northern Illinois poet and writer Frank Coffman. There are modern fiction tales from Gary Hill, Stephen Osborne and Glenn Tilson. Diane Hill contributes a non-fiction story about a holiday haunting, and there are four more from Gary Hill. Classic fiction from John Kendrick Bangs, E.F. Benson, the aforementioned Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell round out the book.
