Description: IT'S THE GEHOGSWATCH. AND ITS TOO QUIET. 

Where is the big jolly fat man? Why is Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say Ho Ho Ho? The darkest night of the year is getting a lot darker... 

Susan the gothic governess has got to sort it out by morning, otherwise there won't be a morning. Ever again... 

The 20th Discworld novel is a festive feast of darkness and Death (but with jolly robins and tinsel too). 

As they say: You'd better watch out... 

'Has the energy of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland...It has also an intelligent wit and a truly original grim and comic grasp of the nature of things' A.S. Byatt, Sunday Times
