Today is Publication Day for the new anthology, Santa
Rage: A Killer Claus Compendium. Edited by Jay Hartman, published by White
City Press, it includes my short story, First Contact. It is currently available
at the publisher in both digital and paperback versions and will appear at
other platforms soon.
Publisher Description:
**WARNING!** If
you’re triggered by…well…virtually anything…these stories pretty much have it
all This anthology is not recommended for readers under the age of 18.
Inspired by a suggestion from
legendary book reviewer, author and multi-term Short Mystery Fiction Society
President Kevin R. Tipple, here’s the holiday anthology that’s definitely not filled with
Christmas cheer. It will, however, be sure to entertain the darker side of your
imagination.
Christmastime is a season full of
stress. Cooking, decorations, trying to find the perfect gift for people you
barely know. It’s enough to make anyone snap. Now, imagine you’re Santa Claus
and you’ve got the entire world to take care of.
Yeah, cookies and milk isn’t
going to make that kind of pressure go down any easier. Add in flippant
reindeer, elves who slack and Mrs. Claus nagging that you never spend enough
time with her during the holidays and it’s enough to make your Kris wanna Kringle,
if you know what we mean.
Welcome to Santa Rage: A Killer Claus Compendium in
which Mr. North Pole himself finally snaps and gets his just desserts…and we’re
not talking gingerbread. Within these ten stories Claus dishes out his own
brand of justice to nonbelievers, kidnappers, meth and other drug dealers while
protecting strippers and doling out some of the best doses of karma Santa ever
dealt that did not involve coal.
These ten stories of grindhouse-level revenge, horror, and action come courtesy of Kevin R. Tipple, Alexander Bayliss, KM Rockwood, Dante Bilec, Kurtis Rupé, MJ McClymont, E. Catherine Tobler, Erica Barnes, Justin Hunter and Leon Peter Blanda.
Congratulations! Nice to see an idea come to life.
