In the past week there have been a number of articles (well, at least two) about Hanukkah romances. The authors pointed out that there are lots of Christmas romances, but the number of Hanukkah romances is really very limited.

I thought that was interesting. There are lots of Christmas themed horror novels too, and definitely lots of Christmas themed horror movies, but where is the Hanukkah horror? It seems like a holiday that practically invites horror in. Idol worship? Desecrated temples?  Eight nights of burning oil? I’m not insisting on it- I just wonder where it is.

Anybody know?

While you think about it, I’m going to go light my candles and listen to the Maccabeats. For those of you who celebrate, as I do, Happy Hanukkah!
