Silent Night: A Christmas Collection

The ten stories all appeared at Christmas time. Kristine Kathryn Rusch, called one of the best short story writers of her generation, has compiled ten of her best favorite Christmas stories into one volume. These stories run through a variety of genres from fantasy (“Nutball Season,” “Doubting Thomas,” “Substitutions”) to mainstream (“Stille Nacht”) to science fiction (“Boz,” “Loop,” and “A Taste of Miracles”) to mystery (“Rehabilitation,” “Snow Angels,” “The Moorhead House”). Some are dark, some are funny, and all touch upon the holidays in one way or another.
