Don’t get too excited about this book, as it’s not the proper novelization of the 1964 abomination SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS that I was hoping for
I have wo things to say about this slim novel: 1). It’s not very good, and 2). It’s one of the most chilling and unforgettable books I’ve read in some time
A novelization that deserves credit for being as readable as it is, given that it was cobbled together in an extremely short timeframe
