Hello, my wicked darlings.

This is probably the last email I’ll be sending out before Christmas, so Merry Christmas. I hope you get what you desire and don’t end up with coal or holly leaves in your stocking. Remember to be good, or you’ll be paid a visit by the Krampus.

Speaking of, if you’re looking for a phenomenal Christmas horror movie, check out A Christmas Horror Story (2015). It was an annual tradition in our house to watch it with red wine and whisky with the boys when I lived in London.

I’ll be spending Christmas at the family home, doing my best to get gout by consuming unwise quantities of red wine, turkey, gammon, cheese, and port.

Let me know what movies and books you are enjoying over the festive period in the comments below, or by email.

Sweet screams,

Newt
