Christmas isn’t just about joy. It never was.
Behind the carols, the candles, and the carefully wrapped lies hides a history soaked in blood and superstition.

In Heinrich Wilson’s Christmas Chills, nothing is invented. Every story happened — or was recorded as if it did. From pagan sacrifices that gave birth to the holiday itself to modern tragedies that turned Christmas Eve into a nightmare, these are the tales people prefer to forget once the snow melts.

Discover the forgotten and the forbidden:
– The 1914 truce that ended in ghostly carols echoing across No Man’s Land.
– The father who photographed his family hours before murdering them all.
– Five children who vanished during a house fire that shouldn’t have burned.
– Krampus — the devil who still walks Europe’s streets every December.
– The frozen men of Alaska, perfectly preserved, eyes wide open.
– The toymaker’s underground workshop, where something kept moving long after he died.
– The cursed gifts that screamed when touched.
– The Christmas murders that bathed the season in blood.
– And the choir whose recording sang backward, summoning a word no one should ever repeat: Revocare.

No elves. No miracles. No happy endings.
Just the truth — and it’s colder than you think.
