  From the acclaimed author of Anno Dracula, the perfect gift for those who love the dark fantastic imaginations of Neil Gaiman and T. Kingfisher, this is a nightmarish tale of a haunted Christmas set deep in the British countryside not too long ago. Cosy traditions are made twisted and terrifying as a mother and son grapple with their painful past. 
   
  December 1st. Angie and her teenage son Rust prepare for Christmas, stringing fairy lights around their isolated home on the Somerset levels and decorating a tree with traditional ornaments. The first door of the advent calendar is opened, but the chocolate inside tastes off. Rust receives his first Christmas card, it's unsigned and the message is 'pinch, punch… first of the month'. The robin chirruping on a bough in a snowy woodland picture looks like a nasty piece of work. 
   
  The cards keep coming, one each day and each more sinister than the last, and a frightened Angie recalls The Cards - a seasonal TV show from her childhood that featured similar happenings, and while she remembers it vividly, there is no evidence that it was ever broadcast… 
   
  Christmas cheer is gradually poisoned, with cruels instead of carols, the turkey rotting in the fridge, unwelcome visits from the Merciless Gentlemen and the Jingle Basterds, and Rust becoming increasingly unwell. Angie begins to wonder if her childhood Christmases were in fact as joy filled as she remembers… 
   
  A frightening tale of seasonal dread from a master of horror.

  No one who is listening to him will ever forget him: Nyarlathotep – the Crawling Chaos.Who or what is Nyarlathotep? An artist, a scholar, a prophet …? Only one thing is for sure: Wherever the Egyptian shows up, he implants cosmic horror into the people's minds. What has been premonition yesterday has become horrible certainty today. Where is mankind going? From light into darkness, from city to wilderness, along the ruins of our civilisation … straight into the heart of chaos.But rarely Nyarlathotep has been more appealing than in the actual prose poem.That of course is also due to the irrational, dreamlike narrative tone. The narrator Dominik Valentin Peter takes up Lovecraft's voice in a congenial way. By virtue of his recitation, he actually is bringing the visions of the cosmic evangelist to life. Last but not least the suggestive sounddesign plays a part in creating an atmosphere of fear and desperation.
