December means it's time for CHRISTMAS TALES
My short urban fantasy collection CHRISTMAS TALES is now on sale this week for just $.99 for the Kindle over at Amazon.
I hope you'll find this a good accompaniment to hot cocoa! While I'm normally known as a supernatural horror novelist, I have a sweet spot for candycanes... so I've also written Christmas songs and stories over the years. CHRISTMAS TALES collects some of these. Check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Tale...dp/B004GUS980/ Here's the description of the three main stories in the book: CHRISTMAS TALES offers three “ghosts of Christmas” in its three stories celebrating the magic of the season, as well as the lyrics of four original holiday songs. While primarily known as a Bram Stoker Award-winning horror author, John Everson explores his lighter side with CHRISTMAS TALES. It’s a book with heart that can be enjoyed by all ages. “Christmas, The Hard Way,” was originally written as a holiday gift to family and friends. The story is a fantastical look at the Christmas holiday from the point of view of Will, a boy who comes from a family of... well... witches. To them, magic comes naturally. But at Christmastime, they pledge to give up magic to rediscover the importance of doing and making things with the sweat of honest labor. That will be a difficult – but important – lesson for Will to learn. “Frost,", the second tale of the collection, opens with David, a young boy from a broken home on an uneasy trip home for the holidays after visiting with his dad. But his trip takes an unexpected turn when a frost sprite in the plane window escorts him on a sidetrip journey that can only be seen as the start of "growing up"... and the beginning of a rekindled Christmas. “Will You Spend This Christmas Night With Me?”, a new story written just for this Christmas collection, looks into the heart of a “lost man” who is living aloof and alone. The love in his heart has been buried with the memories of his family. Based on one of John Everson's original Christmas songs (the lyric also appears in the book), it tells the life-altering story of a lonely man who takes in a homeless child – or is she? – on Christmas Eve. Heartwarming contemporary fantasies all, CHRISTMAS TALES – which also includes a handful of original holiday song lyrics and a link for readers to hear some original holiday recordings – will bring the spirit of Christmas to your heart. ![]() Last edited by johneverson; 12-10-2016 at 04:06 PM.

It's Christmas Week! Last night it snowed in Chicagoland and blanketed our house and lights with a perfect wintry carpet! And I've already hosted my annual Christmas Ale and Chili night at my house, and begun the week of getting together with family and friends. It's a great time of year.
I hope readers will enjoy some of my stories for the season, collected in CHRISTMAS TALES. This is a short, feel-good collection of holiday fantasy tales and song lyrics (you can read a longer description of what's inside in the original post above).

Hey John, I know the thread is about Christmas Tales, but I just picked up Siren. Also posted about it in the horror thread in the deals forum.
