A Hardboiled Festive Season Noir
Robert Mackay - We're started off with a jolly offering starring, Mr Klaus, as a known traffic offender. This red-suited menace was finally apprehended, and brought up on charges that will have him spending the holidays in prison, getting tattoos and...ah, other things. Nicely written sir.
Willwallace - What-ho! A Sherlock Holmes tale! This story is slick humored and sprinkled with candied goodness. I always enjoy the classic Holmes and Dr Watson characters popping up in the challenges. I'd give you a cookie for this story, but ol' Saint Nick ate them all.
Holland - Terrific science fiction entry that has Santa in big trouble for illegally skipping around Earth using fantastic technology. This fine entry was given a cool title, that took me many tries to pronounce it correctly. After unting my knotted tongue, I soaked it for hours in eggnog.
Ashleyne B. Watts - Whoa! I finish reading three funny tales that had me filled with playful glee. Then, WHAM-MO! I'm hit with a gory, blood-drenched horror tale that knocked the icicles off my house. Tremendously graphic, but diabolically delicious offering that stunned me.
Juliana - I thought my job was tough. I couldn't even begin to imagine the chore of going over a monstrous list of people asking for X-Mas presents. An overwhelming job, presented darkly in this incredbily wonderful tale that insures there'll be no lumps coal for the writer.
Remedy - Get your trench coat on and follow the creator of this noir galore story to the scene of the twisted frozen crime. I enjoyed the classic touch of grim narration which highlighted this offering that unfolds like a detective drama, in paperback form. Good stuff.
Springs - Heh heh. I've listened to people who tell me stories about themselves, when they were kids, and their parents threatening to cancel Christmas if they didn't behave. You have captured the pure essence of that in this holiday treat. Marvelous, simply marvelous.
Glen - Very cool noir story, and very dark chocolate covered, but bitter sweetened candied offering that illustrates quite well the grim side of the holidays. Stark images filled my mind and gave me uncomfortable feelings of gloom. Well done sir. You deserve a nightcap too.
Teresa Edgerton - Like a classic gritty, pulp magazine from the past, comes this excellently written story that holds our attention as the narrator of the tale describes his astonishing encounter with an Angel. High marks for your heavenly entry.
Farntfar -The spirit of the holidays touches the heart of an individual who wants to bring joy into a poor unfortunate's life with a Christmas dinner. Such a sweet tale that warms the soul. It reminds us that not everyone has a home, and there are people out there, who do care enough to help the needy.
