'Twas the night (okay, more like the week) before Christmas, and
all through the tiny community of Pine Cove, California, people are
busy buying, wrapping, packing, and generally getting into the
holiday spirit.
But not everybody is feeling the joy. Little Joshua Barker is in
desperate need of a holiday miracle. No, he's not on his deathbed;
no, his dog hasn't run away from home. But Josh is sure that he saw
Santa take a shovel to the head, and now the seven-year-old has
only one prayer: Please, Santa, come back from the dead.
But hold on! There's an angel waiting in the wings. (Wings, get
it?) It's none other than the Archangel Raziel come to Earth
seeking a small child with a wish that needs granting.
Unfortunately, our angel's not sporting the brightest halo in the
bunch, and before you can say "Kris Kringle," he's botched his
sacred mission and sent the residents of Pine Cove headlong into
Christmas chaos, culminating in the most hilarious and horrifying
holiday party the town has ever seen.
Move over, Charles Dickens -- it's Christopher Moore time.
