Wrongfully convicted of having sexual relations with his then seventeen-year-old neighbor, Bill Anderson lost his job, friends, wife and daughter. Moreover, he was subjected to experience intense degradation in the Virginia State Penitentiary. Years later, on a snow-stricken Christmas Eve, Bill embarks on a journey - bound by vengeance and hammer - to reclaim the life he believes society had stolen from him.
Determined to be reunited with his wife and daughter, he unleashes the sinister monster from within, only to share the unforgiving torment bestowed on him by society. Everyone - from the arresting officer turned sheriff, to the family currently occupying his previous residence - is forced to endure an understanding of his suffering. Even the sheriff's pregnant wife finds herself battling for her life against an unknown sadistic memory in her husband's past.
Will Bill Anderson stumble upon his wife and daughter eagerly waiting to start life anew with their devoted husband and caring father?
Or is there a much darker reality amongst society that will infuriate the cold-blooded beast within Bill, and lead him on a reckless path to spread crimson greetings to anyone unfortunate enough to make his acquaintance? The Christmas spirit has something for everyone, and it's pissed.
Usually when I leave a book review, I like to try to be eloquent, and explain my interpretation of a book in the most gentlemanly way possible. But Crimson Greetings!? Holy f****** s***! Every time I thought the story was going to go one particular way, it went in an extremely different direction! In the best possible, and most horrific way! This is the first book that I have read by Mr Sanders, and it has got me on an immediate search for more of his work!
