The Twelve Strange Days of Christmas
The Twelve Strange Days of Christmas | Syd Moore
10 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
Stop Press: 'Death Becomes Her' is shortlisted for the Crime Writers Association Short Story Daggers. Nothing says Christmas more than a good old fashioned ghost story on a dark winter's night, so sit back and enjoy a little pinch of Yuletide mayhem. These extraordinary tales, one for each day of Christmas, explore the odd, the peculiar and the downright chilling, from a Strange encounter with an Icelandic Shaman, to a psychic policewoman, lively winged beasts and warnings from the recently departed. Some of these stories appeared in the ebook The Strange Casebook, 2018.

I thought the short stories in this book would have more to do with the main characters, but they were mostly about other random characters found throughout the previous books in the series. Also, several of the stories had next to nothing to do with Christmas, which was disappointing. Most of them were good, though, and definitely strange. #WinterGames #CandyCaneCrushers

👻 Here‘s what I‘m reading this Christmas Eve. I‘ve only read 2 stories so far, but I‘m already enjoying extra time with some of the characters from The Essex Witch Museum Series. Spooky!

❄️ Bonus points for the shiny metallic skulls and snowflakes on the cover. 💀

📚 Happy Reading! Joyful Jolabokaflod and Merry Christmas if you celebrate. 🎄

If I finish all 11 of these books I will reach my goal to read 45 books this year, and complete my Monthly Key Word GXO and What‘s in A Name challenges. I can tell you already it‘s not going to happen, but I have a good stack to pick from!

Given its title, I decided to read one of the 12 stories in this book on each of the 12 Days of Christmas. The stories vary in quality and in levels of spookiness and humour, but on the whole I enjoyed them.

My #JanuaryTBR. I totally forget I put holds on the Bridget Jones books and they‘re all due to come to me this month! Still, as we‘re entering a full national lockdown, I‘ll have more time for reading...

Eggs Nicely organized! Our library only allows 3 holds at a time 😕. Didn‘t know there are so many Bridget books ! 4y

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 46

I loved this collection of chilling Christmas stories; some are loosely linked, others standalone, but each full of eerieness and suspense. #WinterGames #MerryReaders #HolidayRead
