| Post subject: | A neato online review of the new SANTA novel... |
Found here: http://www.fright.com/edge/santa_claus_conquers___.htm and starts thus: %%%% Here it is, the long-in-coming sequel to Robert Devereaux’s Yuletide classic SANTA STEPS OUT (1998). In that perverse masterwork Santa Claus was seduced by the Tooth Fairy, setting in motion a series of outrages that included Mrs. Claus stripping down and offering herself to Santa’s elves, the Easter Bunny turning into a horny bastard, and a woman named Rachel and her young daughter Wendy becoming involved with Santa, just as he becomes aware of his true identity as Pan, the God of debauchery. It all gets so out of hand that eventually God himself, a.k.a. Zeus, steps in to straighten things out by turning the Easter Bunny infertile, restricting the Tooth Fairy from Santa’s presence, and encouraging Santa to enjoy a polygamous marriage with Mrs. Claus and Rachel, with Wendy as their adopted daughter. SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE HOMOPHOBES picks up several years later, with Santa and his extended family basking in the glow of the “best Christmas ever.” But Wendy, who can see into the futures of the world’s children, is upset; she’s foreseen the suicide of a gay child named Jamie Stratton due to homophobia. In an effort to cheer Wendy up Santa gets in touch with Zeus, who sends down Michael, an archangel, to assist in making those around Jamie Stratton become more tolerant. The Easter Bunny’s help is also sought in this endeavor, although Santa is understandably a little uncomfortable around him after the events of the previous novel.... %%%% Enjoy! |
