What happens to a world where things are valued more than people? In the midst of songs and stories about jolly old Santa comes a tale of foreboding and darkness that speaks to a materialistic and selfish world.
The story immerses the reader in an environment where “naughty” far outweighs “nice”, and where the consequences affect all of humanity. Yet still, even in the depravity and darkness, a small flicker of hope survives— perhaps just for one more night.
‘Merry Apocalypse’ is a well-crafted short story with a powerful message. We may not be experiencing the apocalypse, but its warning is relevant and timely.

Overview: Author C.A. King’s telling of the traditional tale “T’was the Night Before Christmas” goes terrifyingly awry when Santa turns his anger on humankind.T’was The Night Before Christmas Goes Terrifyingly Awry!
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2019
“Merry Apocalypse” is a creative, unique, and terrifying look at a dystopian future where the holiday season is one of fear, horror, and death as Santa seeks revenge for the hundreds of years he’s spent providing free gifts and holiday cheer to the masses who have shown nothing but disdain and a lack of appreciation toward him and their fellow humans. The small global populations that are left in this dystopian future are forced to shutter themselves away and hide-out in fear of being exterminated as Santa cleanses the earth of everyone who makes his “Naughty List”.
King’s characters elicit great empathy as we read about their meager existences. They are forced to starve and depend on each other to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. But when incentives are presented to tempt some out of hiding and false promises are made in exchange for doing bad deeds, survival is at a premium as humankind turns on itself and all hell breaks loose.
For horror lovers, King’s spin on “T’was the Night Before Christmas” is ironic, macabre, sadistic, and delicious. I highly recommend this read for anyone who loves an edgy, turn-of-the-screw tale with plenty of dread and frights.
