“Wow, that was a big pile of nope.
So I love a good ghost story, and if that ghost story is a good christmas story to boot? Count me in! Unfortunately, this had neither of those aspects. I've noticed authors are confusing 'Ghost Stories' with 'Haunted Stories'. This is a book that deals with a haunting, and ghosts of the past, but it is not a ghost story.
Also, I might need to address the language in the book. Not that it's vulgar or crass, but rather that it feels overly flowery and verbose without needing to be. I understand it's trying to set "The Mood", but it creates a linguistic gymnastic set that leaves the reader questioning what the author is actually trying to say. There are times when this style of writing does work in setting a good mood, but more often than not, it just leaves me going "Ok, what was just being said?" I felt as though either a word was out of place or missing entirely more often than not.
I really hope the other titles in this "Seth's Christmas Ghost Stories" lives up to the name, as this one did not.”
