Book excerpt: Summon a dark Noel or haunted Hanukkah with twisted takes on classic songs for everyone on your naughty list. Whether you’re home for the holly-daze or wandering a hellish landscape of never-ending agony, you need a good tune to pass the time. The dire duo behind the best-selling The Necronomnomnom accordingly present a gruesome grimoire of 25 creepy carols and sinister songs. From “Do You Fear What I Fear?” to “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Mythos” and “Shoggoth the Formless Horror” to “Silent Knife,” “Sunken Hells,” and “The Twelve Days of Darkness,” these puntastic parodies pay hellacious homage to the Lovecraftian cosmos. Shriek them bleakly into the vast abyss or brandish them at seasonal gatherings to revile your fellow revelers. This disquieting collection of chants and canticles features extraordinary illustrations and desperate strains from the throats and hands of those who have gone before. Its harmful harmonies and ruinous rhythms will engulf your mind for all the days of darkness to come. Make merry while you can.
