Ho Ho Ho Fahrenhistas,
We know you could all probably do without ANOTHER Christmas email from a company asking you to part with your hard-earned cash but honestly the way we see it if you do your gift shopping with us you not only guarantee your gifts will be the coolest under the Christmas tree, you’ll also be doing your bit to make sure that we’re able to keep publishing new and exciting Indie authors into 2024 and beyond.
You get your hands on great gifts PLUS you get the satisfaction of doing a great thing at the same time.
So without further ado, here are the TOP 5 most popular gifts in our Christmas store this year…
No.1 (as always at this time of year) : The Fahrenheit Secret Santa
Put yourselves in our hands and let us choose a gift for you - our elves will lovingly wrap it (in christmassy paper) and send it to you (or your nominated recipient) in plenty of time for Christmas.
It might be a paperback, a limited edition hardback, a rare proof copy, a t-shirt, a mug - whatever The Elves happen to pull out of their Secret Santa Sack.
What could be more lovely than that - a delightful Christmas surprise from our elves to your hands.
No.2 : Our Christmas Special Edition : The Chimes
Long time Fahrenhistas will know that every year at Christmas take a break from being hard-bitten punk noir gunslingers and revel in some proper joyful Christmas cheer instead by publishing something festive & joyful. Last year’s edition of The Nutcracker went down an absolute storm and we’re pretty sure this year’s selection is gonna do the same.
This year we’ve unearthed a pretty much forgotten classic from The Godfather of Christmas stories, the one and only Charles Dickens.
The Chimes is the 2nd of the five ‘Christmas Books’ written by Charles Dickens in the 1840s. The most successful of which was A Christmas Carol and while that is still well known today the other four books have slipped out of the public eye.
We've taken some care to pay homage to the original 1844 edition published by Chapman & Hall and the resulting vintage look cover is a real looker (the hardback edition of this would make a pretty special gift for anyone).
No.3 : Nakatomi Plaza Merch
This line of Nakatomi Plaza merch has taken us all by surprise this year - we originally made one for The Boss because Die Hard is his favourite Christmas movie but since we put them on general sale we’ve been blown away by how many have flown out the door.
No.4 : Bookish Weirdo Merch
Our range of Bookish Weirdo merch has been our best-selling line for years now and it’s only got more popular with the introduction of kid’s sizes.
No.5 : Membership to the Fahrenheit Book Club
We’re really touched by the way this has become part of so many of your lives over the last few years. We see so many of the same names signing up year after year, either for themselves or buying memberships for their friends and family.
Every year the club gets bigger, do the smart thing and sign-up - we promise you won’t regret it.
And of course if none of our these Christmas specials hit quite the right note you could always pop over to our store and buy some of the best crime fiction books ever published by anyone, anywhere.
Okay that’s all from us this week. We really hope you find some great gift ideas in our store and if you’re at a loss contact us on our socials and ask The Elves for some advice - they’re always happy to help out.
AND DON’T BUY FROM AMAZON - BUY DIRECT FROM US - EVERYTHING COMES WITH ADDED LOVE - and we promise we won’t use the money to buy a huge penis-shaped rocket-ship - can’t say the same for that bloody Bezos bloke now can you?
We kiss you
