Hi, I’m new. I read mostly horror. I’d like to find a book to read over the holidays that is spooky/ mysterious/chilling, etc. and also set around or during the winter holidays.
I prefer to read books that are no longer than 350 pages. I guess the vibe I’m hoping for is the ghosts of Christmas past through future, The Green Knight, or even black comedy. Just nothing too heavy.
Thank you for any and all suggestions.

the shining, nos4o2, those might be longer but might i suggest a audiobook to help with the length of the book
Perhaps **A Night in the Lonesome October** by Roger Zelazny? Admittedly it has more Halloween vibes than Christmas…
*In the murky London gloom, a knife-wielding gentleman named Jack prowls the midnight streets with his faithful watchdog Snuff – gathering together the grisly ingredients they will need for an upcoming ancient and unearthly rite. For soon after the death of the moon, black magic will summon the Elder Gods back into the world. And all manner of Players, both human and undead, are preparing to participate.*
*Some have come to open the gates. Some have come to slam them shut.*
*And now the dread night approaches – so let the Game begin.*
*(Featuring Jack the Ripper, Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, Frankenstein, etc.)*
