Final Exam (1981)

"Why are you so apprehensive? When are you going to realise that the whole world isn't made of psychopaths skulking about?"

"But they are out there. They do exist. People are killed every day for no reason at all. Perfect strangers wake up in the morning and decide, 'Hmm, I think it's a good day to snuff somebody". And these are people who eat at our restaurants with us, use our highways and vote for the President, which probably explains something about him, too. I'm not paranoid. I'm just facing unhappy facts."

The winter solstice is celebrated as a time of joy around the world—yet the long nights also conjure a darker tradition of ghouls, hauntings, and visitations. This anthology of all-new stories invites you to huddle around the fire and revel in the unholy, the dangerous, the horrific aspects of a time when families and friends come together—for better and for worse. From the eerie Austrian Schnabelperchten to the skeletal Welsh Mari Lwyd, by way of ravenous golems, uncanny neighbors, and unwelcome visitors, Christmas and Other Horrors captures the heart and horror of the festive season. Because the weather outside is frightful, but the fire inside is hungry...

Happy STS! Today, I'm pulling away from characters (finally 🤭) and asking about influences. Who are your literary influences? Can you see specific influences coming through in some of your specific works?

Happy STS (on an actual Saturday, even!)

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'm both not sure and also positive if I didn't mention Patricia C. Wrede and Garth Nix, I'd be a dirty liar.

There's probably more Jane Yolen in there than I'd immediately assume (especially thanks to the Books of the Great Alta). Definitely Charles de Lint and Terry Pratchett. Lynne Reid Banks, too. And Mary Downing Hahn. Peg Kehret and Caroline B. Cooney.

Considering the sheer amount of RL Stine's books I happily consumed, there's got to be plenty of influence there, too.

I've been going back to read foundational books for me lately, and Zenna Henderson deserves a place, especially for Holding Wonder. I only ever read one book by Margaret Mahy, The Door in the Air and Other Stories, but its influence is definitely there. I read San Diego Lightfoot Sue by Tom Reamy at a young age and I recently acquired a copy to find out how much of it's lurking around in my mind.

The Young Witches and Warlocks anthology edited by Isaac Asimov holds a big place in my past, too.

And for their anthologies and editorial choices, I should mention Ellen Datlow, Terri Windling, and Martin H. Greenberg.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Andrew Lang and the Brothers Grimm.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of people who deserve a mention, but those are the people at the front of my mind lately.
