Spirits of Christmas
Telling ghost stories at Christmas has been traditional since Dickens' A Christmas Carol, and in this wide-ranging collection of holiday chills we revisit this custom with tales both old and new.
A young man decides to impersonate his school chum's family ghost. A doctor makes a house call to a woman who died years ago. A child begs to go back to a disreputable Santa who may be Someone Else. An old man hears a ghostly voice from a doll in a hospital room. A psychic detective is called in to exorcise a certain well-known holiday icon. A boy hears the story of his far planet's history from the family pet.
These aren't your traditional holiday tales.
