This new, companion volume to HOLLY WRAITHS is a guide to a wide variety of horror stories and gothic dramas broadcast at Christmas over one hundred years of British radio and television.
There are six versions of Frankenstein, and seven versions of Dracula... Sherlock Holmes goes to dark places on some of his most dangerous adventures... sinister stories are provided by Vincent Price, Roald Dahl, and The Man in Black... there are dark thrillers from Sheridan Le Fanu and Wilkie Collins, and Agatha Christie, and an opera about a vampire who wakes in London in the 1990s, and cuts a bloody swathe through yuppie society...
There's so much more to Christmas than ghost stories - there are vampires and hellhounds and murderers and werewolves. Come and spend Christmas with the monsters.
