Satan's Coming to Town: A Christmas Horror Comedy
A devil takes over holiday wishes after a magical mix-up by a Cherokee trickster.
The story begins with Rabbit using her magic to send special boxes through the postal system. These packages eventually lead to Hell, where Lucifer discovers letters meant for him instead of Santa. This mistake compels the Devil to leave his domain and interact with the human world directly. He must address the wishes written by young boys and girls, doing so in a way that reflects his nature. The narrative follows this journey as it unfolds across different locations. Rabbit’s initial plan sets off a chain reaction that challenges the established order of the holiday season. The tension builds as Lucifer attempts to manage these requests while dealing with the consequences of his involvement. The resolution hinges on whether he can succeed or if the trickster prevails.
This book sits within the tradition of Christmas horror comedy, drawing on Cherokee trickster mythology and American postal culture. It reimagines the Santa Claus mythos through a supernatural lens, placing ancient magical figures in modern settings like post offices and Hell.
