The book seems full of surprises. The timing when the terrifying events happen in the stories is notable because when someone is busy with any kind of celebration, they least accept spooky and eerie things to happen.

The scary cover. It's almost Christmas, so I'm interested in reading about Ole St. Oliver, the wicked brother of Santa Claus. Many excellent stories; the author is very creative. Thanks for the review.

Blossman has given this short stories collection a great start by incorporating in it the necessary elements that will appeal to readers. The suspense, the mysteries, the secrets, the thrills, and others should get readers flipping the pages with every concentration and excitement. The minimal errors occasioned by a good editing is also another advantage.

Having read the review of this book, I am the least surprised by Dr Jon Blossman being an award winning author. Joining together seemingly different fictional pieces with linking themes, mystery and more is a feat in itself. This is because there is the risk of becoming incoherent and boring. I believe there is even more about this book that the reviewer has decided to withold, and truly would love to read. Congratulations on BOTD!
