O Little Town of Deathlehem — Catherine Grant

Twas the fright before Christmas And all through the town Not a soul stirred No one dared make a sound... Welcome to Deathlehem, where... ...Krampus, not Santa, brings the holiday cheer... ...the lights on the tree, so festive and bright, skitter and crawl and possess a lethal bite... ...malicious little elves, not a jolly fat one, know if you've been naughty--or nice... and ...family gatherings and office parties often turn deadly. So enter...if you dare. A collection of 23 holiday horrors benefiting the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
