Cheers to you, all, and a hardy salute from my Bah Humbug mug, as I chuckled merrily at the black Christmas tales wrought from Mr Movick's twisty brain. Merry mayhem lurks in every tale, but "To Gift a Puppy," in which a divorced dad presents his daughter with a puppy, wins the beautifully- wrapped-package-filled-with-gym-socks award. May Lord Krampus smile upon all your endeavors.

If you relate to the Grinch more than Cindy Lou Who, this book might be for you. For some, the holidays mean good cheer and merriment – for others, it’s a stressful and emotionally challenging time. Funny, relatable and surprisingly dark, this collection of short stories is a refreshing “fuck you” to the holiday.

Amusing, but not my cup of tea.
