The season of giving is upon us, but some gifts may not be what they seem. During the darkest, but most wonderful time of the year, lore is born all around the world. And while many of the stories are joyous, others are rooted in fear. From killer reindeer to vengeful satyrs, creepy Santas and festive parties gone wrong; something new awaits on every page. Featuring stories from 21 international authors from all different traditions, there's many reasons to keep the holiday lights on longer this season.
