A trio of festive terror!From the author of the Shadow Fabric mythos comes this 70-page Christmas chapbook featuring three stories. SANTA’S ELITE While human population fast approaches eight billion, it’s up to Santa’s special branch to lessen his seasonal workload.

AWAY IN A MANGLER There’s a shop, selling unique gifts, whose proprietor has a horrifying secret or two he does not want shared.

HO HO HOLLOW Something out in the woods turns a family Christmas into a day of death and despair.

Turning up the heat is Santa’s Elite … A more casual style to this story [and] I wasn’t sure exactly what I was expecting from this but in true Cassell style he brought it in. Reference to some fairly close to home stuff for many, this story manages to be respectful in it’s endeavour to entertain it’s audience. If you want a gritty festive tale of mutiny you’ve got it.
