Book Description
In this wonderful bitesize slice of yuletide magic, the very future of Christmas is in doubt. It's Christmas Eve, but just at the moment when he should be putting on his red suit and checking his beard for snowy whiteness, Santa is sitting in his underwear, drinking hot chocolate and singing the blues. Fortunately, anyone who thinks that Christmas can no longer be left in the hands of little people in green outfits, is about to be proved wrong. With fabulous characters and madcap rhymes, SANTA'S CHRISTMAS EVE BLUES is set to become a seasonal favourite with young and old for generations to come. SANTA'S CHRISTMAS EVE BLUES is a 5000-word short story. "A cute little story with more than a disturbing truth about what Christmas has become." -- Not The Baseball Pitcher PRAISE FOR DOUGLAS LINDSAY: "very nicely plotted, thickly laced with dark humour, with a little bit of everything thrown in - drama, intrigue, humour, mystery, tension, romance ... my read of the year so far." - The View From The Blue House on WE ARE THE HANGED MAN "funny, dark, miserable, engrossing and as surprising as a Chippendale chair in the middle of an IKEA store." - I Meant To Read That on THE UNBURIED DEAD "Gloriously over the top, very bloody and very, very funny." - Daily Telegraph on THE BARBER SURGEON'S HAIRSHIRT "Lindsay's burlesque thrills offer no sex, no drugs, no desperation to be cool. Just straightforward adult story; fantastic plot, classic timing and gleeful delight in the grotesque. With more talent than Irvine Welsh could dream of, Lindsay has crafted a macabre masterpiece where content lives up to style." - What's On on THE BARBER SURGEON'S HAIRSHIRT "This chilling black comedy unfolds at dizzying speed... an impressive debut novel." - Sunday Mirror on THE LONG MIDNIGHT OF BARNEY THOMSON "This is pitch-black comedy spun from the finest writing. Fantastic plot, unforgettable scenes and plenty of twisted belly laughs." - New Woman on THE LONG MIDNIGHT OF BARNEY THOMSON
