Anyone got great Christmas horror books to suggest?
Basically as the title says I’m searching for a horror book winter/Christmas themed to get in the Christmas vibes but spiked with some horror since I’m a fan of it, mostly fantasy or based on myths/legends! No smut tho :’)

It’s slightly more on the urban fantasy side but the third book in the Sin du Jour series by Matt Wallace includes an evil Santa Claus.
Great series. You do have to read it in order but the books are really short, you could easily finish the whole series in a week.

“The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror” by Christopher More is pretty fun
Edit: Oops, sorry, I didn’t read the part of your post about smut, so you may just want to infer what that book might be instead of clicking the link

I haven’t read it, but I took a picture of this book when I was in a store the other day- Christmas and Other Horrors, edited by Ellen Datlow. I think the stories are supposed to be based on folk tales.

If psychological horror is what sends shivers down your spine, ‘The Shining’ by Stephen King is the book for you. The isolated setting and the descent into madness are masterfully portrayed, making it an exemplary study in building suspense and a sense of claustrophobic horror.

‘The Haunting of Hill House’ by Shirley Jackson is a book I suggest for anyone interested in the paranormal and psychological aspects of horror. Jackson’s eerie storytelling and the ambiguous nature of the haunting make it a sophisticated and bone-chilling read.
