The Death Claus

When Death Inadvertently Takes Santa. This is one of those short, quick read (sub 100 page!) laugh out loud / high WTF per minute type comedies that is perfect for end of year reading when you want something completely different and offbeat, but also something that isn't so heavy or dense. Based on a sort of Meet Joe Black meets The Santa Claus (the Tim Allen movies of old) mashup, Sullivan does a great job of telling a compact yet fun story perfect for those (like me) who may not be familiar with her work going into this text. And for those fans of Kent Holloway's Silas Mott... it seems Ms. Sullivan may be continuing with her version of this type of character, so absolutely check these books out too.

Very much recommended.
