Santa of the Dead (Aurora Wasteland) Kindle Edition

by Vaughn Ashby (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 22 ratings

Santa fighting Zombies… I mean do I really need to write more?

Fine… then hold on to the nearest hard reindeer cock, things are about to get red jolly suit tinselly weird.

On a routine Christmas eve, after a fight with the new Mrs. Claus, who I’m obligated to point out has a great rack… boobs I mean not reindeer, Santa finds himself drunk, cranky, and living in his past… did I mention he’s cranky? And grumpy as shit, and preloaded will the latest Christmas profanities.

After a poor start to his only real day working all year, Santa against his analytic department’s best-laid plans, overrides the sleighs autopilot and makes a pit stop at the only house whose cookies he’s ever loved.

A poor landing and ironman-like entrance into the house later, Santa stumbles into something he had no desire to be part of… at least that he knows of. See Santa isn’t who you think he is… not that he really knows either.

Did I mention the thing he stumbles drunkenly into was zombies? Because it is. Zombies on Christmas eve… Santa Claus fighting fucking zombies.

This surprisingly emotional and frightening vulgar novella will be on the top of every Zombie and Christmas loving readers list. Snuggled deep in the Aurora Wasteland, Vaughn Ashby’s literary universe, this is a stand alone novella that fits into the larger narrative.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Baskerville Book Reviews
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2021
    A couple of times in this story, the term “rewind time” came up. I can’t stand that. People seriously need to update their vernacular. I’m not going to sit here and pretend to understand how time works. But I’m pretty sure it’s not a tape that can be rewound and that term, in general, should have died 20+ years ago. Along with all the outdated tech that used tapes.

    Ranting aside, I was a bit nervous about this story at first. I loved Brightness Falls and Tethered, I didn’t enjoy The Axe as much because of all the future-themed techno bs. My worry was unwarranted, however. This is probably my favorite story so far. I loved this story. It was hard to concentrate as I was choking back laughter at all of Santa’s holiday-themed swears and puns.

    Vaughn Ashby has a way of telling a compelling story while also keeping it humorous at the same time. Despite laughing my way through dangerous scenes with the characters of this story, I never felt any less enthralled or interested. I really like how you occasionally get some backstory at the end of chapters and how characters address the reader by talking to them. It adds a lot of charm and character that a lot of other novels couldn’t get away with.

    I will admit that one of my favorite movies growing up was Bad Santa. So the idea of an alcoholic, swearing Santa was already something I was very fond of and amused by.

    The narrator did an excellent job. His character voices are top-notch, especially his Santa. The audible narration was clean and clear. There weren’t any instances of repeated dialogue or changes in the narrator’s voice.

    NOTE: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy. The opinions stated in this review are mine and mine alone, I was not paid or requested to give this book a certain rating, suggestion, or approval.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2022
    I have listened to several books by Vaughn Ashby. I am declaring this one as my favorite. Maybe it's because I love Christmas, Santa Clause and reindeer.
    So funny. So vulgar. So many zombies. So full of Christmas cheer. Love of family. Love of cookies. Love of booze. All in Aurora Wasteland.
    I highly recommend the audio version of this book. The narrator really nails these characters. Thomas Gloom has many voices and knows how to use them! 5 stars plus for him.
    I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from the author through Story Origin.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Is Santa Claus really sane?
    Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2021
    I am a big fan of this author’s mostly hilarious books. This story is a collection of unexpected but well developed characters revolving around Santa Claus and zombies. I’m not a huge fan of zombie literature but I thoroughly enjoyed reading and reviewing this book. The world building is well executed but not diverging from our own reality by much. There are many ways this story could develop and following the author’s path I found an unexpected destination.
    Due to language etc. this is an adult’s only book. That being said I recommend this book to all adults with a sense of humor.

    I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2023
    Ok, just let you know, horror is not my thing. But the books by Vaughn that I have read have not been bad. I liked this book. Yes there was some questionable things but by and far very enjoyable. I really dig Santa. Thank you for showing me the difference in HORROR and horror.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2022
    Loved the early chapters and the way Santa entertains the reader with his humorous asides but I felt that the plot lost it's way towards the end.

    The author has a real way with dialog that I found very amusing. A tighter plot would've merited 4 stars

    Another wacky and hilarious addition to the Aurora Wasteland series. Santa of the Dead is a novella that does not disappoint! If you have liked any of the previous titles, you'll love this "holiday cheer". Santa, zombies, and holiday cheer abound in this funny horror book. Audio Version: Thomas Gloom does a fantastic job narrating this title!

    Exactly as bizarre as you'd expect in the Aurora Wastelands. Santa, zombies, and Krampus; oh my! There is an adventure, laughs, horror, and some mighty finely colorful language in this holiday short that's sure to be a hit with Ashby's fans.

    Funny in a very gross way. Definitely not a sleigh bell ringing, tinsel slinging, Christmas Tree Lights flickering, cookie and milk Christmas story. Well there are cookies but with bourbon instead of milk and there are a lot of zombies. I mean just as the story gets started the zombies eat the reindeer.
    Totally NSFW and packed with every Christmas profanity possible enough to make a snowman blush.
