A Christmas Horror Story

by Sebastian Gregory

On the night before Christmas, lock the doors to the house…

Forget the jolly old man in his red, big-buttoned suit. Because another creature is up on the roof, preparing for his annual visit to little children everywhere.

With a belt of knives round his waist, a writhing bag on his back and a Santa-sized appetite, he’s a little…different to the St Nick you might be expecting.

And you can leave out all the carrots and mince pies you like…but it’s you he’s after.

A horrid Christmas to all, and a terrible night.

Every white Christmas has a dark side. Don’t miss A Christmas Horror Story, the gruesomely festive new story from Sebastian Gregory.

'Within the pages of The Boy in the Cemetery, I found that incredible part of my imagination that I realise I'd lost somewhere in the process of growing up. I was enthralled, entranced, and completely enchanted. I would happily, happily, happily read anything by Sebastian all day long.' - 5 cupcakes from Becca's Books to The Boy in the Cemetery

My Review:

Once again  Sebastian Gregory has left me speechless but in a good way. I might be a little scared of christmas at the moment but what an amazing story, 160 pages of wow, I couldn’t put this book down. The main Characters are lovable, I need to find out what happened to Katy, Jake and Emily at all times. I needed them to be ok and even as the book was coming to the end I was still a nervous wreck. The end? I have no words for it. I am not 100% sure what happened but it left me wanting a lot more but was a complete ending. This book is amazing, creepy, fantastic and horrifying all rolled in one. I loved his writing style and he can tell a scary story pretty well that my heart was beating a lot faster then it should and I had to stop reading this at night before bed.

Please note that this book has a few German phrases but a little visit to Google translator and you will be fine ;) I now know a little German, a few creepy sayings but if I want to scare a few German people I am all set lol.

I read Sebastian Gregory other book (The Boy in the Cemetery) and I need to say this, I have found an amazing new author. I can’t wait to read more stuff from him. I look forward to seeking out all his books and devouring them like I did this one and the other one.

I knew almost from the beginning this was going to be a 4 star and I added the .5 as the book got closer to the end only because the story never stopped, it was constant action and suspense and I loved it.

Haven’t read a book of his yet? Not sure what you are wait for Looking for a fun cheerful Christmas book, this is not it, just remember think happy thoughts when you read it, no scary Santa Clauses or Weihnachtsmann or Der Kinderfresser just HAPPY Christmas thoughts…damn it!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my review

Hope you have a great day and Happy Reading!
