The Scary Book of Christmas Lore: 50 Terrifying Yuletide Tales from Around the World by Tim Rayborn
informative
lighthearted
fast-paced
3.5
This was a fun little read that did a good job explaining some different Christmas traditions from different parts of the world in short, easy-to-digest articles with some pretty nice artwork strewn in the mix as well. The stories were fun to read and it was interesting how manny different countries or regions had similar Christmas lore, just tweaked a bit.
The only thing that was a bit annoying was that there were quite a few grammatical and spelling issues throughout the book so the editing team didn’t do the best job of checking things before printing the book. Thankfully it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the book, but I had not read a novel with that many mistakes before.
