The book you are about to download is two stories of Christmas, death, and Santas.  Both of them hold their unique flavoring with the sights, sounds, wonderment, and memories most of us have experienced when it comes to Christmas.  Except for those who have encountered zombies.The Last Noel is a real blast with Santa and his elven helper meeting with a town gone crazy and two, lovely, adorable and hungry zombie kids and the plague starts from there leading to the North Pole itself with wild action, hi-tech weapons and science beyond everything we could dream.  The story could be called fanciful and it still is good and drives us along to a twist you could never expect.  This Santa is not one for the kiddies; it's for us, the adults who will read of a Santa pushed to his limits.  Unforgetable.It Just Doesn't Taste Like Christmas starts with the happy times when the family is together with presents and pine smells and a Santa Claus looking to taste something besides cookies.  It takes you to a survivalist camp and the faint wisps of ghosts of Christmas past.What stands out in these two stories is the careful attention to detail to keep the stories flowing and never bogged down.  Action, plot, and character are nicely intermixed for the serious reader and the sights, smells & tastes of the season are there for those of us who remember being a kid.Thank you, Dane, for this seasonal offering and two well written stories.
