My Review:

Marshall never enjoyed Christmas, because when he was growing up, Christmas meant more abuse and rape from his stepfather and his buddies. As an adult, he is even more callous about the holiday, especially with the damn carolers who won’t stop singing at his house. So on one Christmas Eve, he loses it and goes on a killing spree.

 

What an awesome last story for this series of Christmas horror! This one has all the violence and gore! Even a bit of cannibalism, for those of you who can handle it. Well, at least Marshall finally gets to celebrate Christmas just the way he likes it. I loved reading this cringe-worthy and bloody Christmas story! It put a terrifying spin on a holiday that not everyone gets excited about.

My Review:

Malik and Craig are part of an acting troupe with one rival: Jonah, who is jealous that the guys always got the good parts. When Jonah seeks revenge during the next production of The Nutcracker, things go terribly wrong, and start to backfire!

 

I gotta admit, when I was a kid, I was terrified of the Nutcracker. The way those jaws just chomped-chomped-chomped! But you know what? Reading this story, as an adult, I can’t help but picture the Nutcracker in all his chomping glory and think, Awesome! Ooh, this story was too good. I read it and thought, If only I could see that kind of show for real! I don’t know about you, but I think I prefer THIS version of The Nutcracker much more. Good frightful and gory story! I loved it – especially the ending!

My Review:

After a break-up that leaves her vulnerable, Angela agrees to date her coworker. Things get off on the wrong foot, so he tries to make it up to her by inviting her to his house on Christmas. What Angela doesn’t know is that lover boy has a special meal planned, one he simply cannot create without a little “help” from her.

 

There’s a reason why you don’t want to be the rebound guy, and here’s a good reminder! Shane thought he was oh-so-clever with the cleaver! Well, everyone has their preferences for Christmas dinner. At least Angela can be a good sport about it. And find healing in a good way! I enjoyed reading this story. I read it in Brandon’s book, An Inspiration for Your Nightmares, and I was happy to see this story again in this series. Reading it again was just as good. What a delightfully tasty morsel of a story this is. Read this one if you think you can “stomach” it!
