KHRYSTMASS - Holiday Horror Collection is a book of Krampian short stories and poems by K.A. Schultz KHRYSTMASS invokes all aspects of this jolly time of year, but then twists and inverts them with horrifically delightful results! Jingle bells receding into the distance, winter winds a-howling, glimmering beings lurking outside in the snow; lights flickering red, and then green... If you love classic horror, you will love how this collection has fast forwarded rich, dark elements of timeless literature, from Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN to Dickens' beloved spirits and more, to create a slew of new, adult horror stories and dark poetry just for you! Visit www.Butterflybroth.com for an at-a-glance content guide And while every story is a stand-alone tale, many stories & the books themselves are linked with lit & tech Easter eggs KHRYSTMASS also features excerpts from Schult'z previous works Oh, but when flurries strike with such fury By their crystalline shards the scene is so beautifully lit Its components snow-feathered, ice-fractiled 'tis by design, this wint'ry distraction!
