Another book that popped up on Instagram that I gave a shot for a holiday read.
This is a novelette about a white privileged family's Christmas. One of the family members had a run in with a Mexican Santa Claus, saying something racist, prejudiced, and wrong. Mayhem ensues.
If you've followed my reviews you should know that I always attempt to rate fairly and nicely for indie or self published work, however I always try to remain honest. And I cannot find a single nice thing to say about this work.
Firstly, I'll say that this is a Christmas horror that is absolutely splatterpunk. I read horror often, but the sub genre is not something I've read. It is not for me. Not. For. Me.
I don't know the author, nor could I find anything about them online, but this reads as heavily racist, gratuitous, and over the top. The Santa is seeking revenge for the comment made while the author has him speaking horrible mixed Spanish and English. All while describing some of the most heinous acts I've ever read. It was disgusting, and if it wasn't short enough to read in a single sitting, I would not have gone back.
Personally 1/5*
