No Christmas stocking will be complete without the "scary Ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago" promised by this tantalizing Collection of dark, fantastical and romantic "Winter tales" from the pen of horror writer Mark Onspaugh.
A proud member of the Horror Writers Association, he lives in Cambria, California with his wife, writer Tobey Crockett PhD..
Besides his father, he counts Ray Bradbury, Robert Sheckley, Robert Bloch and Eric Frank Russell among his early influences.
His father, writer and aeronautical engineer Carl Onspaugh, was a fan of science fiction, and Mark visited many strange and wonderful places, thanks to editors like Judith Merril and Groff Conklin.
About the Author: Mark Onspaugh grew up in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California.
He has several new collections of short stories and two supernatural novels from Random House\'s Hydra imprint, The Faceless One and Deadlight Jack.
Nominated for a prestigious Pushcart Prize, writer Onspaugh is delighted to have been compared to his favorite authors Ray Bradbury and Stephen King.
Featuring well over a dozen stories which can be read alone or sewn together, Onspaugh\'s original Christmas Ghost Stories entertain with supernatural flights of fancy, mysterious creatures and four interwoven fairy tales from the shadowy Black Forest.
Sometimes funny, sometimes scary and occasionally bittersweet, this Collection of Christmas Ghost Stories is perfect fare for sharing aloud by the fire or cuddling with someone (or something ) toasty on a moonless December night.
