I'm dreaming of a Dark Christmas

With every little tale that I read

When the knife blades glisten

And scared children listen

To hear slayers in the night

Where sugarplums can be gory

In the frightening elf story

And trees eat favorite household pets

There are gifts on all the pages

Of terror through the ages

Told of gift giving regrets

I'm dreaming of a Dark Christmas

With every little tale I read

While the bright lights shine

And the family dines In the soft fireplace glow

So hold loved ones tight

It's not Santa visiting tonight

Death lies buried in the snow.

The holiday season isn’t all fun and games.100 word holiday horror stories from dozens of authors. From dark and disturbing, morbid humor or guts and gore, these stories have it all.

How will you celebrate the holidays?

What is beauty? We know not everyone thinks of the same things as beautiful. A morning sunrise can be wondrous or blinding. A flower can be lovely to look at, but deadly if tasted. Not everything that is beautiful can be seen or touched; it can also be a feeling. A beautiful thing like love can bring great joy, or great sorrow. In our journey through life we are taught to believe some things are beautiful and some things are ugly. But what if what we're taught turns out differently than how we experience for ourselves what is beautiful and what is ugly? In Beautiful: In the eye of the beholder, 200 contemporary authors and poets worldwide share in stories and poetry their experiences and thoughts on the subject of beauty in an anthology like no other.
