Lucky Girl, How I Became A Horror Writer is a story told across Christmases, rooted in loneliness, horror, and the ever-lurking presence of Krampus written by World Fantasy and Shirley Jackson Award-winning author M. Rickert.
-Smooth and ruthless, Lucky Girl is M. Rickert at her ice-cold best.--Laird Barron
Ro, a struggling writer, knows all too well the pain and solitude that holiday festivities can awaken. When she meets four people at the local diner-all of them strangers and as lonely as Ro is-she invites them to an impromptu Christmas dinner. And when that party seems in danger of an early end, she suggests they each tell a ghost story. One that-s seasonally appropriate.
But Ro will come to learn that the horrors hidden in a Christmas tale-or one-s past-can never be tamed once unleashed.
