Season's Creepings

Tales of Holiday Horror

De: Ronald Kelly

Narrado por: J Rodney Turner

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree.... What lurks among thy branches....

Christmas can be the most wonderful time of the year. Candy canes and hot cocoa. Snowmen and sleigh rides. The love and hope that the Nativity brings. Cold milk and warm cookies for Santa. Family, friends, and the cheerful laughter of children.

But, beneath the festive wrapping paper and the gleam and glitter of the lights and tinsel, things less jubilant may lie in wait. The holiday season can bring love, peace, and benevolence...but it may also spawn a darkness lurking amid the shadowy boughs of the Christmas tree, ornaments that should have never seen the light of day, let along hung on festive branches, and bones that jingle and dance, in search of Santa's crimson suit...and the flesh that resides within.

In this collection of harrowing holiday tales, Ronald Kelly leaves 10 frightful and horrific gifts in the Christmas stockings that hang from the mantle of your cheerful fireplace. Ghastly and gruesome presents that slowly unwrap and burst into life while you are tucked, snug and warm, in your bed and take on nightmarish form in the icy winter hours of Christmas Eve, turning comfort and joy into terror and dread.

Stories included in this collection:

• "Jingle Bones"
• "The Skating Pond"
• "Depravity Road"
• "Heirlooms"
• "The Winds Within"
• "Then Came a Woodsman"
• "As for Me, My Little Brain"

loved it

A great collection of seasonal horror stories. each is a bit different but have a sense of both wonder and horror. The narration was amazing as usual.

Worth the credit.

I liked the voice of the narrator, very soothing but with a creepy edge. I also enjoyed the descriptions in the stories, makes it very vivid to the imagination.

Perfect!

This is a perfect combination of writer and narrator! The stories range from the truly terrifying to the absolutely enchanting. Loved it!

Good but some stores are in his other books too

I’ve listened to other of his shot story books and there was I think three of these in the other books.
