I’ll
admit that I’m not the most Christmassy person in the world. I think it all

Books has two anthologies coming out on December 14th to help me boost my
Christmas spirit.
Lots
of fantastic authors can be found in two books. If you like the creepy and
paranormal when you read, then check out Things That Go Bump In the Night. I’ve
added a few blurbs to whet your appetite.

The
magic of the holidays can be hell…
Celebrations
abound during the holidays, but this Christmas an engagement celebration goes
horrifically wrong. What appears to be a simple murder/suicide hides a vicious
surprise. The type of gift Raine and Gavin, elite member of the Kyn, didn’t

way to spread holiday cheer.
