Just when you thought it was impossible to create something
unique from a world of myth, Byron Starr comes along with The
Wrath of Santa Claus. The dark humor will force you to laugh
out loud while feeling slightly wrong about it, as Starr flips the
North Pole upside down, creating a surreal, Tarantino style version
of Christmas Town. Fast paced and colorful, this melding of
realities is sure to tickle and enthrall all who read it.
--Adrienne Jones, author of Gypsies Stole my Tequila
This is an ingenious and enjoyable work of fantasy by an
extremely talented author. Byron Starr takes everything you
know about Santa Claus, Elves, Leprechauns, and Jack Frost and
turns it upside down, inside out, and stands it on its ear.
It was as though I were walking through Toontown and a trap door
opened up underneath me. I found myself sliding round and
round, down and down, into a fantastic world of inspired
wonder. Do yourself a favor. Slide on into Ace Hawkins'
world yourself. You'll be truly amazed, delighted, and
entertained by what you find there. --Gary K. Wolf, creator of
Roger Rabbit
Like a cross between the old swashbucklers and Rambo, Ace
Hawkins battles his way through the pages of this darkly funny
book. Reminding me of the beginning of Scrooged (The Night
the Reindeer Died!), this deals with a rebellion of Elves at
Santa's arctic retreat, with Hawkins in the thick of it as usual -
and not giving a crap. By turns exciting, off the wall and truly
unique, this is one book you'll want to find in your Christmas
stocking. --Paul Kane, creator of Dalton Quayle
