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.

'It reminded me of Tim Burton’s ‘The Corpse Bride’ and ‘The Nightmare before Christmas’ which I really loved – Candy's Bookcase on The Boy in the Cemetery

'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

'Every now and then you come across a book that blows you away, this is one of those books.' – 5 stars from Nicky Peacock to The Asylum for Fairy Tale Creatures

'This novella is magnificent. It is hauntingly magical.' – The Modest Verge on The Gruesome Adventures of Alice in Undeadland
