Rudolph's in a Cadillac, Santa's in hiding and Christmas itself is being bought and sold with the fate of the world at stake. The Reign of the Anti-Santas tells how Christmas fell into the hands of Santa's spoiled kids, low-level gangsters, faded TV-movie heartthrobs, tech bros and lifestyle gurus, and what happens when one elf and an old Santa on the lam step up - against all odds - to save the day.
If you're looking for meaning, there is plenty to be found, and if you crave satire, there is none better. Even if you're just looking for a fun twist on some beloved traditions, you'll be glad you picked up this unconventional elf-noir holiday extravaganza... A holiday parody for the ages...

I was delighted and laughing all the way through the book... insight after insight into the actual world... and how easily we are manipulated... All in all, it's a tremendously entertaining story.
