Long winter nights are the perfect setting for horror, crime and mystery stories: the crackling fire, the wind in the trees, a softly sleeping neighbourhood. With content from some of the finest writers – including Arthur Conan Doyle, Wilkie Collins, and the undisputed master of the Christmas Eve chiller, M R James himself – this chilling anthology peeks behind the curtain of the festive season to surprise, entertain and unnerve.
