Merry and Bright by Matt Henshaw

Santa Claus Is Coming To Torture!

This story begins with what appears to be a charming little family gathered together near the tree to open presents on Christmas morning. Of course, knowing that this is a story from Matt Henshaw should give you pause, and provide some indication that things will not remain so tame and prosaic. It isn't until grandma and uncle arrive with three presents left near the front door that things begin to change for the worse. Driven by compulsion, the trio of Daniel, Sally, and Billy start unwrapping the presents with disastrous consequences. A lump of coal is just fine with me if that's an alternative to what happens to this family when they find themselves on Santa's naughty list. Thankfully, Henshaw isn't in R&D at Santa's workshop, because Christmas would be a rather different experience for a lot of people.

Merry & Blight

Woah!! Is it too late to get on Santa's good list?? (Asking for a friend!) That was an awesome brutal, blood soaked tale of karma!! So much horror packed into such a small space!! This is my second book by Matt......I need more!!!! 5/5 blood splatters

Loved it!

This was my first read of Matt's and it delivered! Short and sweet, and creepy as hell. Christmas is always about the Nice gifts, it's good to hear about the Naughty as well

Christmas Blood Bath

That was a gory little tale full of Christmas cheer. Short and to the point.

Santa's Watching!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year but not for Daniel, Sally and Billy. They’ve been bad and now they pay. A short but nasty tale of what happens when you make the naughty list!
