Everything is not merry and bright in A Christmas Ghost Story. A mother, Lynda and her teenage son, Rust are preparing for Christmas. But things are beginning to dim their holiday cheer. Cards begin arriving and they are lacking in holiday cheer and season’s greetings. They are sinister and remind Lynda of a show she watched in her youth….

I so wanted to love this one. I thought that it would, but alas, this one just did not work for me. The story is unique, bizarre, and full of dread. The author pulled off the dread and feeling of something not being quite right in this book.

We can’t love them all and that is the case with this book for me. I can’t fault the writer or the plot. This just didn’t work for me. Others are enjoying it more than I did, so please read their reviews as well.

Thank you to Titan Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
