CHRISTMAS TALES offers three “ghosts of Christmas” in its three stories celebrating the magic of the season, as well as the lyrics of four original holiday songs. While primarily known as a Bram Stoker Award-winning horror author, John Everson explores his lighter side with CHRISTMAS TALES. It’s a book with heart that can be enjoyed by all ages. “Christmas, The Hard Way,” was originally written as a holiday gift to family and friends. The story is a fantastical look at the Christmas holiday from the point of view of Will, a boy who comes from a family of... well... witches. To them, magic comes naturally. But at Christmastime, they pledge to give up magic to rediscover the importance of doing and making things with the sweat of honest labor. That will be a difficult – but important – lesson for Will to learn. “Frost," the second tale of the collection, opens with David, a young boy from a broken home on an uneasy trip home for the holidays after visiting with his dad. But his trip takes an unexpected turn when a frost sprite in the plane window escorts him on a sidetrip journey that can only be seen as the start of "growing up"... and the beginning of a rekindled Christmas. “Will You Spend This Christmas Night With Me?”, a new story written just for this Christmas collection, looks into the heart of a “lost man” who is living aloof and alone. The love in his heart has been buried with the memories of his family. Based on one of John Everson's original Christmas songs (the lyric also appears in the book), it tells the life-altering story of a lonely man who takes in a homeless child – or is she? – on Christmas Eve. Heartwarming contemporary fantasies all, CHRISTMAS TALES – which also includes a handful of original holiday song lyrics and a link for readers to hear some original holiday recordings – will bring the spirit of Christmas to your heart.

This book also contains three additional selections.Here is some information about the other books in the series.Praise for School of the Ages: The Ghost in the CrystalThere is a strong Jewish and biblical current, but it's about magic rather than religion, and the magic is impressive. I got the feeling I was attending the school by correspondence, and that the magic was authentic. ... This is good reading.-- Piers Anthony, world famous fantasy authorMatt Posner has created a believable world and down-to-earth characters within the realm of magic. -- S.L. Wallace, author of Reliance on Citizens Makes Us Great!*Praise for School of the Ages: Level Three's DreamThe writing style of the story seems so true to how a fourteen year old would think as Simon and friends make those initial steps on their way to adulthood, making decisions about life, friendship, values and sexuality. -- Cynthia Echterling, author of Torqued: The Quest for Earth*Praise for School of the Ages: The War Against LoveI was about to say, "What I like best about THE WAR AGAINST LOVE is..." when I realized that there are too many things I like "best" about it.... Posner's good things roll on every time you turn a page. - Andre Jute, award-winning author of Iditarod: A Novel of the Greatest Race on Earth*Praise for Simon Myth:Will the powerful yet vulnerable Simon ever be lucky in love? Will his family be freed from their tormentor? If (like me) you're already under the spell of 'School of the Ages', you need to know the answers.
