Halldark Holidays Reviews
-
The Halldark Holidays collection from Cemetary Gates Media is such a fun read full of twisted Hallmark-esq movie reimaginings. Those horribly cheesy movie are incorporated in this collection in a fashion most obscene and monstrous. Gabino Iglesias is accompanied by Briane Keene, Alan Baxter, Cynthia Pelayo, Bev Vincent, Mark Allen Gunnells and more to bring you something wicked for Christmas. Don't miss this one during the season of giving.

Halldark Holidays was hit or miss for me, but I love the idea of this anthology. I found some stories that I really enjoyed (including some by new-to-me authors), and my top 5 stories were Winterland Surprise by Kathryn E. McGee, Holiday Traditions by Cina Pelayo, Christmas Every Day by Nicole Willson, Elmreach by Jonathan Duckworth, and Christmas in Quail's Egg by Max Carrey. I know a lot of people disagree with this, but I have to say that I wish this anthology was one that had trigger warnings before the stories.
CW - homophobia, death during childbirth, suicide, killing animals, mentions of bullying, eating disorder, sexual assault, abuse, death of a child, rape -
This was a fun collection of stories for me to read at this time of year. Not all are set at Christmas but most of them are. I enjoyed the theme of this anthology and every story hit the mark.
This has been one messed up year (for all of us, right?). I find it hard to believe that we are days away from Christmas, like it should only be late summer, but we are all exhausted like this year has gone on forever. It’s been hard for me to find the Christmas spirit but this book has helped. I know that’s strange that a horror book brightened my mood but it did.
As with any anthology, I enjoy reading new-to-me authors. The stories ranged from somewhat humorous tales to dark/sad. I loved the inclusion of gay characters in so many stories, most of the time as MC’s.
A few of the standouts for me were “The Morbs” by Greg Sisco, “A Winterland Surprise” by Kathryn E. McGee, “O Little Town...” by Mark Allan Gunnells, “The Best Christmas Town in Maryland!” By Sheri White and “Mother and Child” by Todd Robinson. -
There’s always a dark, melancholy beneath the holidays, this collection just takes it to terrifying new heights. Every story starts with the best Christmas (and one Fourth of July) ever, but this is just a cracked, weak veneer covering unfathomable horrors that spare no one. The perfect holiday read.
-
"Halldarck" Holidays is a decent anthology with a fun concept but which suffers a bit from its hasty production (typos abound). The stories themselves are pretty hit or miss, but there are some true gems sprinkled in.
My personal favorites: The Morbs, Elmreach, Frito Pie, A Total Super Miracle on 34th Street, and Christmas Every Day. -
Halldark Holidays edited by Gabino Iglesias is a collection of tales that are perfect for people that love both Hallmark holiday movies and all things horror.
I remember the tweet going out from Gabino with the original idea. I immediately retweeted and said something like “sign me up for a copy!”
I just love holiday horror so much! I loved watching the horror community on Twitter and in various podcasts talking about the project. Even the folks that got a rejection letter were praising the overall process!
When I first heard about the idea of this one, I could not wait to get my hands on a copy! I’m so excited that I was able to dive in during my holiday break.
Per usual with collections like this, here are my quick thoughts on each of the stories.
The Darkness is Always There: An Introduction by Gabino Iglesias
I loved that this intro talked about how the project came to be! What an exciting thing this was. This intro also does a wonderfully job pumping the reader up for the following stories.
The Morbs by Greg Sisco – 5/5
Holiday: Christmas
Sent on assignment to write about a town big on Christmas, our photojournalist main character just wants to do her job, but has to continue brushing off her coworkers advances. What they’re about to learn about the town will make quite a story indeed. I loved this one so much! I read a story similar to this in one of Kevin J Kennedy’s holiday collections I believe.
The Hatching by Brian Keene – 5/5
Holiday: Easter
Oh my goodness this one was so heartwarming a with a dash of terror! I loved how dedicated to his daughter the main character was. But those poor kids. Beware of the oversized Easter eggs!
She’s Back by Clara Madrigano – 4/5
Holiday: Christmas
Ooh the hints dropped in this one were wonderfully unsettling. I loved that we very slowly started to see that something was wrong.
Der Eeich Yaeger by Alessandro DiFrancesco – 4/5
Holiday: Christmas
This story certainly brought on all the warm and fuzzies of meeting your future in-laws and having it go well. Up until the point that it doesn’t, of course. I loved the main character and how open and caring she was.
A Winterland Surprise by Kathryn E. McGee- 5/5
Holiday: Christmas
In a town that loves Christmas, our main character is about to learn that the Christmas spirit is actually something that needs to be tended to. This tale was so spooky! Definitely a lesson in trusting your gut and not following the attractive man you just met into the dark…
The Bone Fire by Alan Baxter – 5/5
Holiday: Christmas
Oh my goodness! I was not expecting that ending. Holy moley!
Rainbow Black by Gina Ranalli- 5/5
Holiday: Coming Out Day
Ah! The closed-mindedness will make your blood boil. But the rest is just wonderful! I loved the ending!
An Invisible Christmas Spectacular by Bev Vincent – 5/5
Holiday: Christmas
When a mayor just wants to give his town a great Christmas celebration after a rough year, he decides to host the party on the property of a home that everyone thought was abandoned. At the party, things are going wonderfully! Until, of course, things go sideways. This one was so brutal and the switch from hallmark to dark was very quick!
Elmreach by Jonathan Duckworth – 5/5
Holiday: Christmas
Ah, another tale about going home to meet your partners family. This one was a whirlwind romance. Everything seemed so storybook perfect at the beginning… man this story was wicked unsettling! I love that the veil was slowly lifted as both the reader and main character learned what was going on at the same time. And that ending!
Frito Pie by Kelly J. Ford – 5/5
Holiday: Valentines Day
Oh the set up of this tale was so wonderfully done. I had no inkling that the tale was about to end up where it did!
A Total Super Miracle on 34th Street by Mackenzie Kiera – 3/5
Holiday: Christmas
Oh Lordy, this woman was obsessed with her own personal timeline of how things in her life should work out. When things don’t go as she thought, she goes on a warpath.
O Little Town… by Mark Allan Gunnells – 5/5
Holiday: Christmas
Oh noooooo! How quickly this all transpired was absolutely terrifying.
Feu De Joie by Magnolia Strock – 4/5
Holiday: 4th of July
Jesus! Very real world horror. Oofh. This one is gonna stick with me.
Somebody Always Hears You by Elizabeth Hirst – 3/5
Holiday: Christmas
What a dark twist on making wishes and having them come true! This main character was very unlikable for me, so I couldn’t wait to see how things turned out.
Christmas Every Day by Nicole Willson – 3/5
Holiday: Christmas
Oh gosh, what a spoiled child! The parents clearly couldn’t reason with her. And what revenge for the sister!
The Christmas Cabin by Fred Venturini – 4/5
Holiday: Christmas
Oh my goodness! I loved the start of this one so much. When the creepiness set in, it made me feel wicked claustrophobic!
What Happens in the Dark Will Soon Happen in the Light by Michael Harris Cohen – 3/5
Holiday: Christmas
Oofh, what a heartbreaking and eerie tale. I definitely wanted to know more when I got the end of this one.
The Best Christmas Town in Maryland! by Sheri White – 3/5
Holiday: Christmas
Yikes! This poor mayor just wanted everything to be perfect. But this year in the Christmas town, there will be more bloodshed than Christmas cheer.
Christmas in Quail’s Eggs by Max Carrey – 5/5
Holiday: Christmas
Another tale about going back home with your significant other to meet up with family. Phew, I was ready for something crazy to happen, but I couldn’t have seen this one coming! Terrifying!!
A Wail of a Christmas by Jillian Bost – 5/5
Holiday: Christmas
Woah! This one was super eerie. I loved the slow and easy pacing and then boom. Wonderfully done!
Holiday Traditions by Cina Pelayo –
Holiday: Christmas
Cina’s writing is so poetic and beautiful, even when discussing the macabre! I loved the flow of this story and how you knew something was not quite right but didn’t know what up until the reveal.
Mother and Child by Todd Robinson – 5/5
Holiday: Christmas
Ooh a haunted house in Maine?! I was so in for this one. What a spooky and absolutely heartbreaking tale. I loved the set up and pacing of this one.
My Final Thoughts
I loved that the majority of these stories were centered around Christmas, but that there were a few other holidays scattered in. Each story was so unique! I loved that some were creepy, some were absolutely terrifying, and some were very real world horror.
If you enjoy holiday horror, you gotta go pick this one up if you haven’t yet! -
3.5 overall because the stories were either amazing or rubbish.
Individual ratings:
The Morbs by Greg Sisco – 5/5
Started with a bang. This story was GOLD.
The Hatching by Brian Keene – 2/5
An awful lot of build up for a Goosebumps-esque reveal.
She’s Back by Clara Madrigano – 3/5
This one wasn't particularly memorable.
Der Eeich Yaeger by Alessandro DiFrancesco – 10/5
Amazing, proper melancholy, bittersweet horror. I was this as a full novel immediately please.
A Winterland Surprise by Kathryn E. McGee- 4/5
Yes. A brilliant surprise.
The Bone Fire by Alan Baxter – 5/5
Always a fan of an overbearing mother. Loved it.
Rainbow Black by Gina Ranalli- 1/5.
Downright offensive. I can't understand how anyone would find this progressive in the slightest.
An Invisible Christmas Spectacular by Bev Vincent – 3/5
I do love a good haunted house, but a tad flat.
Elmreach by Jonathan Duckworth – 5/5
That brother. 100% love this character *chef's kiss*
Frito Pie by Kelly J. Ford – 3/5
Eh. Why always with vampires?
A Total Super Miracle on 34th Street by Mackenzie Kiera – 2/5
Not a fan.
O Little Town by Mark Allan Gunnells - 5/5
Great characters and PERFECT ending.
Feu De Joie by Magnolia Strock – 4/5
Just devastating. Horror in real life.
Somebody Always Hears You by Elizabeth Hirst – 2/5
Never a fan of a wish story.
Christmas Every Day by Nicole Willson – 5/5
YES. Evil child. Love it.
The Christmas Cabin by Fred Venturini – 4/5
Another devastating, beautiful horror.
What Happens in the Dark Will Soon Happen in the Light by Michael Harris Cohen – 5/5
Probably the scariest one. Far out.
The Best Christmas Town in Maryland! by Sheri White – 3/5
Love the revenge, but the rest is meh.
Christmas in Quail’s Eggs by Max Carrey – 5/5
I loved this one. Such an intense punch.
A Wail of a Christmas by Jillian Bost – 4/5
Lol. Cheesy and great.
Holiday Traditions by Cina Pelayo – 3/5
Beautifully written, but not my thing.
Mother and Child by Todd Robinson – 3/5
Set up for a melancholy horror tale, but didn't quite hit the mark for me. -
An ambitious collection that was hit and miss, but well worth a read for the hits.
-
Halldark Holidays, edited by Gabino Iglesias, is full of stories meant to be a twist on the “Hallmark Holidays” concept. These are horror tales, all of which take place on or around holidays. Mostly Christmas, but occasionally Valentine’s Day, 4th of July, or Easter.
Todd Robinson’s “Mother and Child” was my favorite; even in a short length it has a lot of emotion to it. Officer Garrett Kincade volunteers to watch over the town’s haunted house on Christmas Eve. The land has been bought by developers, and they don’t want kids messing with it. It’s the 10th anniversary of the tragedy that took place there, and Garrett thinks he sees something moving in the windows.
Cina Pelayo’s “Holiday Traditions” introduces us to Jenny and her mother, Alice. It’s Jenny’s first “real” Christmas, and her family is preparing an unusual feast. I particularly enjoyed the obvious love between Alice and Jenny against a creepy backdrop.
Michael Harris Cohen wrote “What Happens In the Dark Will Soon Happen In the Light.” Daddy left for war when his daughter was five; now she’s seven and mom says Daddy’s coming home. This story definitely captures what PTSD can mean to a person and their family, but the story is ultimately quite creepy beyond that. Content note for animal harm and death.
Nicole Willson’s “Christmas Every Day” shows us what can happen when a six-year-old wishes for every day to be Christmas. There’s a great theme of revenge in here as well.
Elizabeth Hirst’s “Somebody Always Hears You” is another take on the wishing theme, as Mia, who has strange holes in her memory, decides to go home for the first time in years. I love the turn this one takes.
Mark Allan Gunnells’s “O Little Town” sees couple Kevin and Mike taking in their suddenly-very-pregnant neighbor Peggy. Unfortunately for them, the father wants in. Content warning for gory sexual content.
Mackenzie Kiera’s “A Total Super Miracle on 34th Street” is absolutely hysterical and very dark. Merry is a fantastic point of view character, and she’s just been dumped by her boyfriend on Christmas Eve. He even had the audacity to tell her that his mother hates Merry’s cooking!
Alan Baxter’s “The Bone Fire” is every bit as good as his longer works. Davie has brought his girlfriend, Katie, home to meet his parents at the holidays. His family has some very peculiar traditions.
Kathryn E. McGee’s “A Winterland Surprise” introduces us to Samantha, a rather lonely woman who directs the Christmas Eve pageant. When a handsome man with a puppy invites her to take a walk with him, she suddenly sees a different side of Christmas.
“Der Ewich Yaeger” by Alessandro DiFrancesco involves fiancees Layla and Otto going back to his family home. Otto seems very embarrassed by his Aunt Brigid, who claims to be a witch, but Layla finds her both sweet and fascinating. I love the ending of this one; it’s quite beautiful.
Greg Sisco’s “The Morbs” is a great look at a town that has no choice but to celebrate Christmas with a great deal of good cheer!
Clara Madrigano’s “She’s Back” sees Auntie Kate come back to town for Christmas. Blake and her girlfriend Meg actually rather like Auntie Kate, and because of that, Kate does something nice for them.
Jonathan Duckworth’s “Elmreach” introduces us to Daphne, who has become engaged to Ethan after one week of knowing him. Ethan’s slovenly brother Carl suggests that there might be a problem there, but he also seems resigned to the idea that he can’t really help.
Max Carrey’s “Christmas In Quail’s Egg” is another story about someone going home for the holidays, only to find out that the town is not as they remember it.
The rest of the stories had one or two problems that pulled me out of them or just felt not-quite-right.
Brian Keene’s “The Hatching” (an Easter tale) felt like it needed a little more to it. Gina Ranalli’s “Rainbow Black,” while a great story of found family vs. blood family, felt a little too tongue-in-cheek for me. Bev Vincent’s “An Invisible Christmas Spectacular” had too little information about what was happening and how; even a few more details about the residents of the mysterious mansion would have been welcome. Kelly J. Ford’s “Frito Pie” started out kind of… weird, even if it did end wonderfully.
Magnolia Strock’s “Feu de Joie,” a story in which Dan loves the Fourth of July and his pregnant wife Jessica does not, really didn’t have enough solidity to it for me to enjoy. The ending of Fred Venturini’s “The Christmas Cabin” ended kind of weirdly for me. The characters in Sheri White’s “The best Christmas Town in Maryland!” seemed too one-note, although there’s some nice bloody fun involved (content note for child death). Jillian Bort’s “A Wail of a Christmas” sees adult Jenny’s mother Alicia inviting her high school boyfriend to Christmas dinner, and Jenny thinks her embarrassment will be the hardest part of the night; the ending for this one was kind of out of nowhere.
Overall this is a wonderful anthology, and will make a great read for the holidays!
Content note: child death, animal harm/death, gory sexual content, and gore in general.
Original review posted on my blog:
https://www.errantdreams.com/2021/03/... -
Good concept.... mediocre results
As noted in the introduction by Gabriel Iglesias, this book came about from hundreds of submissions from well-known
and never-before- published authors. Like many efforts of
this nature, it was a mixed bag. There were 22 stories in all,
and I truly enjoyed just under half.
The BEST:
1. ‘The Best Christmas Town in Maryland’ by Sheri White. (gory and mean. Perfect little revenge tale!)
2. ‘Christmas Every Day’ by Nicole Wilson (another good revenge tale)
3. ‘The Morbs’ by Greg Sisco (Excellent story with a double meaning about the horrors of the world and how we as humans react in order to process them)
4. ‘The Bone Fire’ by Alan Baxter (Excellent creepy story. The ending blew me away. Perfect!)
5. ‘Rainbow Black’ by Gina Ranalli (Short, but really liked this story. Great twist. Black Humour)
6. ‘Frito Pie’ by Kelly J Ford (Loved the story and the main character. However, it sort of felt like a chapter within a bigger book, rather than a short story. Loved the sarcasm.)
7. ‘A Total Super Miracle on 34th Street’ by Mackenzie Kiera (Neat narrator! Thank God her name was Merry and not Karen (LOL) This story also took a big turn which was fun)
8. ‘ElmReach’ by Jonathan Duckworth (Enjoyed this story. Good mythology and interesting end)
9. ‘A Winterland Surprise’ by Kathryn E McGee (Another unique mythology story)
Lastly, the most well-known author in this book was Brian Keene who gave us ‘The Hatching’. Simple, little story from Keene. I think I may have been waiting for an over-the-top monster extravaganza. This story showed off Keene’s writing chops and gave us a subtle monster story that still aligned with the “Hallmark Holiday” theme.
You typically pick up an anthology to enjoy more content from your favorite authors or to find new ones to enjoy. Unfortunately, many of the lesser known authors here do not have published books (or very little) and many do not write in horror exclusively. -
What an awesome holiday adventure, just finished the day after Christmas! There was something for everyone in this anthology, even those who don’t go in for what they consider the “horror” genre. This is a book for everyone.
There are some real psychological scares, a few traditional jump scares, twists and turns, love stories, pain, redemption and classic ghost story.
Starting with the very first story “The Morbs” by Greg Sisco, I was drawn in. This could arguably be my favorite in the book. I know people who don’t go in for that holiday spirit gig every year and he wrote Rebecca perfectly. She’s snarky and independent, sometimes rude but very very likable. The story itself was filled with all kinds of Christmas details like a red velvet curtain that hides the Christmas tree until Christmas morning. You wonder what else is behind that curtain....
If you’re looking for some body horror and especially If you’ve given birth and know the real horror...haha...check out O Little Town by Mark Allan Gunnels. This was a short sweet and terrifying monster? Demon? tale about being neighborly. Or maybe just a lesson to not answer the door late on Christmas Eve.
What Happens in the Dark Will Soon Happen in the Light by Michael Harris Cohen is a story about a soldier coming home from war....and bringing something with him. I also found it’s subtle hints at PTSD enlightening. This is a disease that many suffer from, especially our soldiers and bringing it to light in fiction is important.
Another favorite of mine is Holiday Traditions by Cina Pelayo. I love a twist on the traditional holiday dinner. And the references to displaying “dead things” as decoration on Christmas....aka the Christmas tree was so clever. Especially with the origins of the family. Loved this one!
5 stars to a perfect way to spend the holidays with ghosts, monsters, demons, bad boyfriends, ghouls and cannibals! -
Halldark Holidays, edited by Gabino Iglesias, is a fun anthology of holiday horror. I started watching Hallmark movies a year or two ago with my Mom. She likes them (okay, maybe sometimes I do too), but I always shake my head at how predictable and formulaic they all seem. Halldark Holidays is an anthology that takes the familiar tropes, themes, and images of Hallmark movies and twists them into horror stories. I love the premise of this book and found several stories to be really outstanding! I throughly enjoyed The Morbs by Greg Sisco, A Winterland Surprise by Kathryn E. McGee, A Total Super Miracle on 34th Street by Mackenzie Kiera, Holiday Traditions by Cina Pelayo, Mother and Child by Todd Robinson, and the introduction to the anthology by Gabino Iglesias. Some of the other stories were enjoyable too, though a few seemed underdeveloped. I also disagreed with the point of view that seemed to be expressed in one or two of these tales, though I suppose provoking that kind of response in me is an artistic achievement in and of itself. Overall this collection is a mixed (Santa) bag in terms of quality. The themes and tropes common to many of these stories, like the Hallmark movies they parody, get a bit repetitive after awhile. Still, this is a really fun anthology for horror fans familiar with Hallmark movies, and is a great read for the holiday season. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you follow Gabino Iglesias online you will know how quickly this collection was put together and that those rejected for it were sent personalised rejection messages in the process. The speed with which this was put together and the work put in meant I had to check it out even if I've never actually watched a Hallmark Christmas film before. That plus Todd Robinson!!
The majority of the stories revolve around Christmas and there is a shade of blood red plastered throughout the stories. The writers manage to vary the set up of the story with the majority happening in a picturesque small town, but with horror elements that will soon come to the fore.
Some of my favourites were The Morbs by Greg Sisco, The Bone Fire by Alan Baxter, Rainbow Black by Gina Ranalli, Somebody Always Hears You by Elizabeth Hirst, What Happens in the Dark Will Soon Happen in the Light by Michael Harris Cohen and the tender and suspenseful Mother and Child by the aforementioned Todd Robinson.
Any of the stories is a winner though and I would urge you not to wait until next Christmas to pick this one up. -
Great selection of stories
There were a lot of different moods in this anthology and definitely something for all flavors of horror.
It started off really well with that gritting-your-teeth, let’s get Christmas over with feeling from a character who needed to learn how to embrace Christmas or else.
I loved that there were funny stories mixed with sad & thoughtful stories all with a dash or sometimes buckets of horror. I loved the use of little-known folklore monsters mixed in with your typical monsters shown in a different light.
The last story was by far the most intense for me and definitely a really great way to end the anthology. I actually had to put the book down because the suspense was driving me mad. I picked it up again really fast because I had to know. Then I got teary-eyed. Then I was sad to find out I’d read everything.
This book definitely won’t disappoint. -
As someone who doesn’t care about Hallmark movies, this collection of Hallmark Holiday themed stories was a joy to read. Most centered on Christmas but there were a few other holidays as well.
We all know Hallmark movies have the same theme: A woman or man who lives in the big city returns home to their small home town for the holidays and rekindles their childhood love. A lot of these had that theme but with the horror element and it was just SO much fun to see what each author did with it.
Whether you love or hate those sappy Hallmark movies, check this anthology out. It was a ton of fun to read and I got some good laughs out of it. I hope to see another one someday! -
Fantastic festive horror
It’s rare to find a collection of short stories this numerous that doesn’t contain a weak story, but here we are. These stories are creepy, steeped in the genre in a loving way, and perfect for the season. I’m sure these would work all year round, but I am pleased I read them over Christmas. The first and last stories were, I think, standouts. I’ll look forward to reading future Cemetery Gates/Gabino Iglesias collaborations. -
This was a great collection of stories to give all the feels. Just as its namesake, many of these stories have the classic feel that you would find in a hallmark movie, then something strange happens. My favorites were from Greg Sisco, Mark Allan Gunnels, and Gina Ranalli. Gabino Iglesias did a great job with these, can't wait until Vol 2!
-
A really good themed collection, with a satisfying variety within that theme. Mostly surrounding Christmas, the stories take familiar aspects of the holiday and turn them on their head. This can be read at any time of year, but if you do make it a seasonal read, the glittery backdrop of reality will enhance the experience.
-
There's something for every horror fan in here - from surprisingly sad to delightfully gory and everything in between, from haunted houses to aliens to ancient deities. I plan on making this a holiday tradition.
-
I slowly read through these stories over the Christmas break. There were highs and lows but this collection earns 5 stars on the heartbreaking final story alone. Mother and Child by Todd Robinson is amazing and brought me to tears. What an amazing ending to a enjoyable holiday collection.
-
Christmas Cracker
Scenes of over the top good cheer, snow, twinkling lights and festive romance, mutate to turn the winter wonderland into a blood-soaked bonanza. Santa baby takes on a while new meaning! Wonderful fun read. -
This was such an imaginative collection of horror stories. I love hallmark movies and this twist on familiar tropes was fun and a dark take on typical festive stories.
-
All of the stories were really good, but the first one was my favorite.
-
A super fun collection of stories. Holidays, Romance, Monsters! Some new to me authors and I'm so glad I learned of this from Gabino Iglesias twitter! Loved it!

Have you ever wondered what a horror version of the overly sweet Hallmark Christmas movies would be like? I actually have and this anthology collects stories based on that premise and it is a blast and deliciously dark.
I have been saving this one to read this month and it definitely helped get me into the holiday spirit. The stories cover a range of holidays and themes, and I honestly loved most of them.
Some of my favourites were:
The Morbs by Greg Sisco
Rainbow Black by Gina Ranalli
A Total Super Miracle on 34th St. By Mackenzie Kiera
The Best Christmas Town in Maryland! By Sheri White
Holiday Traditions by Cynthia Pelayo
