Well, now I feel awful! And you’re so going to believe me, but Halloweird was in the long list for my top 10. But this is why I hate ranking (and rating) books. It’s misrepresentative. It makes it sound like all the others I read didn’t make the cut. Yes, I do take these things way too seriously. 😂

Re-reading this lovely Christmassy novel from 1950. Ten Days of Christmas by G B Stern. The first big family Christmas after WW2. The children want to do a play, there are quarrels, tensions and a complicated family. A shame it hasn't been reissued. 💙📚

A hardback edition of Ten Days of Christmas. 1950 edition with dustjacket. A girl stands in a winter landscape looking toward a large country house.

If there are any journalists, bloggers, students out there wanting to do a piece or some research on POSSESSED - the lost novel I discovered, please do get in touch, I think it's a very important work and a massive moment for the horror community.
