Meet Jask Skellington. He's in charge of making Halloweenland the coolest creepy place around - and he's bored. Searching for new ways to celebrate, Jack finds Christmas Town - and a whole new festival! Christmas, Jack decides, is just what Halloweenland - and the world - needs. He sets out to take over the role of Father Christmas in his own inimitable style - but is the world really ready for a skeletal Santa?

Publisher's Weekly Review

Those who found Tim Burton's film terrifying need have no fear of the picture-book version: The Nightmare Before Christmas, first published in 1993, and illustrated in Burton's signature style, is not nearly as scary as its big-screen incarnation. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
