If you fancy reading a spooky Yuletide story for free, you can visit Lucya's Substack where I've been serialising my folk horror novel, Christmas Ghosts and the Holly Queen. In the tale, a group of friends seek the joys of Christmas past in an idyllic remote cottage but discover the spectres of bygone times lurk there too. It’s about friendship, folklore and telling ghost stories.
I started posting instalments about a month ago and so far the events have reached Christmas Eve, when snow has fallen but the characters have become lost in wintry woods. There will be more daily chapters recounting the events of Christmas Day and beyond.
Christmas Ghosts and the Holly Queen features the same main character as Erosion, my first Gothic novel. However, it is a complete story so you don’t need to have read Erosion before you begin. The main character, Alice, sometimes briefly refers to things that happened in the earlier novel. I’m indicating when a spoiler appears so you can skip those paragraphs if you want. You might choose to read Erosion first so you don’t need to avoid spoilers, or you might want to read this freebie to see whether buying Erosion is something you want to do.
