Christmas Ghost Stories to Read Aloud

By JJ Lee

LIST PRICE $10.95

About The Book

Unplug for the holidays with a modern take on the ancient custom that summons restless spirits to rekindle the wonder of Christmas in young and old alike.

Originally written for radio broadcast, each story in this jewel-like collection of eerie encounters can be read aloud in about fifteen minutes. Friends and family of all ages are invited to cross over to a world filled with the supernatural shadows of holidays past. With a story for each the twelve days of Christmas, this new twist on the classic holiday anthology offers cozy reads about ghosts attempting to navigate the cold and dark when the veil between the living and dead is thinnest.

Whether read alone by a fire or in front of a rapt audience, Shivers provides an opportunity to replace the relentless pings and buzzes of devices, at least temporarily, with the voices of lost souls lingering between the lap of ocean waves, the static of the radio, and the silence of falling snow.
