The Christmas tales presented here are not all the cheery, tinsel-draped stories you might have been expecting. No, this collection is as dark as those shadows beneath your jolly, bauble-decorated tree. In between the presents, can you see them? The shadowy fingers reaching, the dark jaws opening and closing? Dive in, and see another side of Christmas. One that might not make you go 'Ho ho ho'.

Ten stories from seven authors, covering science fiction, supernatural piracy of the past, crime of the present, dodgy salesmen, future dystopia, a terrible family secret, and more. Something for everyone. This is the 'any genre' annual anthology and it's very, very late this year. So the British at least will understand the title ;)

Yes, we know it's not Halloween but after more than a year of the horrors of lockdowns, nobody is feeling all that upbeat. Add in the coldest Spring for 99 years and it's no surprise that most of the authors are feeling pretty gloomy. This collection might well remind you of Halloween, which will be the next anthology, and we might not find it easy to outdo this one. Naturally, we'll do our best.

We have talking animals imagined by two authors, two different imaginings of Santa's elves and two very different versions of when Death met Santa.

In 2020, the year we all wish we were seeing in hindsight, it's nice to find someone who has it worse than any of us do.
This collection has many people who are much, much worse off than any of us could ever be. Unless of course we step into their stories instead of just reading them. Fortunately that's very close to impossible for most of the stories.

At sundown on Christmas Eve, Santa's magic awakens.
For one night, time means nothing to him. He travels the world on his sleigh until dawn.
For one night, the elves are silent. The rest of the year they nag the hell out of the poor bugger.
Santa sees all in his timeless night.
Romance, tragedy, terror and laughter.
Not all stories have happy endings.

This started out as a blog post on Underdogs Bite Upwards, currently a Wordpress blog. It seems to have aged quite well. It’s now over seven years old but still gets a link on Twitter and on other blogs from time to time.
I thought it might be worth making it into a free eBook rather than have people search an obscure blog for ancient posts. That way you can pass it around in eBook format freely.
