The True Tale of Santa the Zombie Slayer (Naughty and Nice, #1) / Naughty and Nice (ePub)

Violent, funny and a little bit gross - if you've ever seen a Christmas movie and wished there were more zombies, puns and abdominal muscles, then you must have been especially good this year because Santa is bringing a sack full.

So here's the good news. Yes, Santa is real. Bad news... so are zombies.

Sounds crazy right?

Then again, so does looking forward to an old guy breaking into your house every year in his pyjamas to raid your cookie jar and watch you sleep. Yet here we are.

It's time for a peek at the rotten underbelly of the typically impotent Christmas Carol. A world where Santa is really a superpowered beefcake on a mission of vengeance to slaughter some undead a-holes who thought a Mrs Claws-sized chew toy was a brilliant idea.

Now with a naughty list swelling faster than an anaphylactic chewing a peanut, the bearded reaper must ride his dragon-powered sleigh to bloody war against a zombie army that threatens the world, and the old friend who betrayed him. But as he decks the halls with blood and bodies, it seems even in this nightmare a jolly bedtime story can be found, as the King of Christmas finds his throne, bringing joy to children and Santaphiles everywhere.

It's Violent Night meets Zombieland with dragons and superpowers. An easy read that you or your teens will flick through in a few hours, and hopefully find yourselves chuckling along at the antics of the big guy and his odd ball crew.

So, crack open the eggnog and settle in for the neurological equivalent of tooth decay as this bizarre origin story spews its madness across the page. Battling witches, wolves, dragons and the things in the title, The True Tale of Santa the Zombie Slayer is a whirlwind of action, adventure and comedy that is sure to give your sleighbells a jingle.
