I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.
Fright Before Christmas contains 13 stories that twist Christmas traditions into spooky nightmares for middle grade readers.
The stories themselves are very creative and very short and contain both twists on classic tales and new concepts. There are a variety of monsters, some typical like the Abominable Snowman and Krampus/evil Santas, while others are not-so-typical like evil nutcrackers, evil snowmen, and an evil Jack Frost who freezes naughty children. There were multiple stories with evil Santa, but each of them were unique and fun to read. There are not a whole lot of happy endings going on here, so as always with the horror genre, if your mini-me is a scaredy-cat, take caution.
Fright Before Christmas is great for kids who like the Holidays but miss Halloween, or even for those naughty children who need a little more encouragement than a little bit of coal in their stockings.. This would be a wonderful stocking stuffer for little horror fans.
