The Spirits of Christmas: Ghosts, Myths, and the Otherworld of Winter
By Lea Grace

A haunting journey through the spectral heart of Christmas - where faith, folklore, and the dead meet beneath the falling snow.

❖ Discover the forgotten ghosts of Yuletide - from ancient Norse riders in the storm to the restless spirits who walked beside monks and peasants in the frozen fields of Europe.

❖ Uncover the truth behind Krampus, Perchta, and the Wild Hunt, where demons and angels share the same wintry sky.

❖ Walk among the candlelit graves and spectral churchyards, where midnight choirs of the dead were once said to sing alongside the living.

❖ Trace the birth of the Christmas ghost story - from medieval legends to the timeless works of Charles Dickens, M. R. James, and the writers who made haunting a holy art.

❖ Experience the spiritual beauty of the winter haunting, where remembrance becomes prayer, and every candle lit in the dark becomes an act of faith.

The Spirits of Christmas is both history and hymn - a meditation on the season when the light returns through shadow. Combining folklore, theology, and ghostly tradition, Lea Grace reveals that Christmas has always belonged to both the living and the dead, and that every flicker of candlelight carries the memory of those who came before.

Atmospheric, intelligent, and profoundly moving - a timeless companion for the haunted heart of winter.
