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.
