Overview

Winter has always been a horror story. Before it belonged to carols and commercial cheer, it belonged to the dark. To the long nights when firelight was a fragile defense and every prayer was a bargain with the cold. 101 Christmas Horror Writing Prompts resurrects that older truth - the one buried under decades of glitter - and invites you to write the season as our ancestors feared it. This premium holiday edition elevates the bestselling writing prompt series with an experience crafted for horror writers who want to go deeper than ever before. Every one of the 101 prompts has been expanded to double the length of a traditional writing prompt, offering richer story hooks, detailed narrative stakes, symbolic worldbuilding, and character-driven scenarios that launch full stories instead of single scenes. These aren't quick jolt prompts - they are narrative seeds with teeth. Inside, you'll explore eleven thematically curated sections of winter darkness: - Haunted nostalgia wrapped in ribbon and regret - Snowbound terror where hunger has a plan - Slasher Santa tales soaked in red - Ancient solstice gods returning for what was promised - Choirs that sing the dead awake - Sacred rituals that demand sacrifice - Cosmic cold that does not forgive warmth Each page is paired with a full-color illustration that doesn't just decorate - it reveals. A shape in the stained-glass shadows, a figure behind the wreath, a gloved hand leaving prints in the snow. Art and text work together to create unsettling inspiration that pushes your imagination into the places December refuses to acknowledge. And at the back of the book, you'll find a special Bonus Fiction section - five complete Christmas horror stories written using prompts from this very volume. They serve as vivid proof of what you can create when a writing prompt becomes a doorway into the dark. Use them as craft study, late-night entertainment, or a challenge to top what's possible. Perfect for: - Horror authors & novelists - Flash fiction writers - Holiday anthology contributors - TTRPG game masters - Filmmakers seeking seasonal scripts - Anyone preparing a terrifying Christmas tale Whether you're drafting short shocks, icy slow-burns, or full-length novels of winter dread, this book delivers 101 opportunities to turn the season of joy into the season of nightmares. So string the lights. Lock the door. Leave a candle burning - because something is moving in the dark between the carols. And it's waiting for you to write its story. This Christmas... let the horror in.
