Reviews

[Greg Kerestan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Volume 2 is decidedly bigger, weirder and more rambling than Volume 1, and in my book that's a good thing. The Christmas connection sometimes becomes more tenuous, but that looseness allows for oddities and treasures like "The Wolf Tower," a supernatural legend of alchemy, devils and werewolves, or "Mr. Grapewine's Christmas Dinner," an endearingly stupid little farce about miscommunication. There's nothing here with the pedigree of Volume 1's "War and Peace" excerpt, and "Christmas with the Baron" is a bald-faced pastiche of both Dickens and the comedic works of Poe, but the Christmas spirit- and attendant Christmas weirdness- still shines through.

Something strange something sappy, something fun

And something weird. I can't help but enjoy this book, even though a lot of doesn't seem to have a direct Xmas connection. A fairy Baron, a wolfish ghost, and a soldier add to the eerie appeal.
