Did you know, novellas fit perfectly in a stocking? Why not fill yours with some lavish Gothic horror from Michelle Tang. DuMort is a gaslamp fantasy set in a world where it is forbidden to speak of the dead.

If folk horror is your favourite genre, we've got plenty for you. Something mysterious lurks in a Scottish loch in Anthony Engebretson's Sair Back, Sair Banes, while in Mazi by Koji A. Dae, eyes watch from the walls of a rural Bulgarian cabin.
