Snowball: A Christmas Horror Story by Andre Gonzalez is a great book to read a change of pace and you won’t look at christmas much the same way. I recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about horror in thier stories.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
What an interesting thing to do. And elf on the shelf for the kids to enjoy every day until Christmas! But wait, what is going on? You have got to read it to find out what all happens in this story, enjoyed it so much read it in one sitting I could t put it down.
This is a great twist to “Elf on a Shelf.”
I hate elf on the shelf. But I love snowball. He is so creepy and I loved the story. I feel like the main characters should have communicated more or should have taken some precautions when things went ary… Could have found out what was going on before things got worse and worse. I loved the ending, so dark and creepy. I loved the countdown to Christmas day format for each chapter. A good Christmas horror read!
And here I thought clowns were evil and creepy…
Christmas holidays are supposed to be full of love and good cheer. However, for Brandon Armstrong the stress of the holidays combined with work, wife and kids puts him in a truly vulnerable position where he starts imagining strange happenings in his house during the nights. Strange soon cycles toward deadly for his dog and neighbors. What could be so evil that the happenings start causing Brandon to question his sanity. What has changed in his household to cause these horrendous disturbances.
I received an ARC of this book from the author. As with every book written by Mr. Gonzalez, it is strange, disturbing, and utterly fantastic!! He is an exceptional storyteller with a wickedly wacky tilt.
This is a page turner and a thrill ride. The family get an elf on a shelf. They named it Snowball. Strange things occur after Snowball is placed in the house. You will not be disappointed with this Christmas count down horror story.
Snowball by Andre Gonzalez
I never saw it coming. Creepy but a great read. Now that I have read Snowball by Andre Gonzalez, I think that I have read everything he has written. AND, I will continue to read whatever Mr. Gonzalez writes.
I like his style. I like the way his characters come to life. Pun intended for Snowball. I will never look at the Elf on the Shelf in the same way. I highly recommend you never buy one from a thrift store; you just don’t know its past.
If you like different. If you like rather creepy. If you like a form of horror. If you like…then you will want to read Snowball.

Wonderfully written holiday short, that will have you at the edge of your seat. I couldn’t put it down and found myself gasping out loud at some of the situations in the story. Well told holiday story with a Christmas elf infusing the creepiness into the lives of a completely unsuspecting family. You’ll be missing out if you don’t one-click this book. If this is the first time you’ve read this author, you should also check out his other books. You will not be sorry. I received an ARC copy, this is my unsolicited review.
