Publisher Description
It's a dark and lonely Christmas Eve in the dining room of ancient Soul's College. The kitchen boy, 11-year-old Lewis, has helped prepare a highly unusual meal, made with unrecognisable ingredients, cooked by a mysterious chef. And then the guests arrive ... and carnage ensues. They are ex-students of Soul's College, and they are all completely demented. They demand bottle after bottle of wine, flinging their cutlery and howling like banshees until ... silence. The Dean of Soul's College has arrived, and the evening's ceremonies must begin.
For this is the annual meeting of a secret club for those who despise children, warmth, happiness, and above all Christmas. Each member must try to outdo the others by telling the most terrible, disgusting story they know.
A spooky, shocking, bloodthirsty alternative to festive cheer that will appeal to, fascinate and delight young readers.

Lewis messed up. It wasn’t his idea but he was the only one that got caught. The Dean of the school and Lewis’ mom agree that he deserves to spend his Christmas Eve working off his punishment. Bet Lewis’ mom didn’t know what he’d be doing! He is the serving boy at the annual Christmas Dinner of Souls. A group of misfit gathers to top each other when it comes to gruesome, macabre tales. Who will win the ultimate prize (which I won’t tell you)? Will Lewis be alive to see Christmas Day?
Y’all! I ADORED this book!! While waiting for it to arrive, I had started reading Link by Link, which is supposed to be an anthology of haunted holidays. So far in the first 3 stories, it is about teen love. When my copy of Christmas Dinner of Souls came, I was more than happy to switch over. THIS is what I’m talking about! I read it in one sitting! Each story topped itself in creepiness, grossness, and the macabre! I didn’t know what was coming next and I wanted MORE!!
Buy this for yourself or anyone who is looking for something different this Christmas! Or, if you’re twisted, get it for someone else who is all about Christmas romances and fah-la-la!
