Description

It's an old story: Christmas - the holiday of magic and mayhem - is threatened, and only a small child, disgruntled office worker, or moulting gerbil can save it. And save it they do: the Malefic Forces are defeated, Santa is free to deliver his presents, and the magic of Christmas is restored.But what happens when the Forces assailing Christmas are fouler and more malignant than any mere Malefic Force, when the eyes of innocent children glimmer with a revolting light, the office workers howl their ennui at the stars, and the glabrous gerbil gibbers in the dark? When circumstances are abyssal in more ways than one, to whom will Santa turn? On whom can he depend?This is his story - the story of the abomination who saved Christmas.

Read this now, thank me later.
This is a delightful tale that is weird and wonderful, whimsical and wild and has to be read to be understood. The best I can do to explain it is to take a smidgeon of Carroll, a pinch of Poe, a dollop of Lovecraft and mix it all up with a non-Euclidean amount of comedy and you might come close.

It might be a lil early to give a review but the first two chapters were just so good that I’m comfortable saying I love it
cultivators making an appearance in chapter one was amazing, the elves? Hilarious and horrible in one go I loved it.
also pretty good grammar for writathon

Now to start, it’s a completed royalroad work! All the points. We certainly don’t stop there though.. It is a delightfully weird tale of good vs evil, non euclidean horrors with santa hats, demonic cultivators with a penchant for hot chocolate. It’s a rollercoaster of mathemagical battles and true love between badass protagonists.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, GOOD CHILDREN
