Great variety of chilling and spilling stories
Bewertet mit 4 Sternen
This anthology collects a great assortment of Christmas (or at least winter) themed horror stories. What I loved most was the variety the book presented, ranging from chilling ghost tales to blood-spilling gore stories. I found these stories to be the most remarkable:
- 'Christmas in Barcelona' for combining little everyday 'horror' scenarios with some ancient magic and topping it off with a surprise ending
- 'Love Me' for being very creepy and gross
- 'Good Deeds' for the blackest humor
- 'Yankee Swap' for the nasty twists
- 'Home' for best putting me in the Christmas mood despite being so sad
'Hark!' definitely ranges above average as far as anthologies are concerned, and it was a great companion to spend time with and enjoying short getaways at Christmas time.
