The Office meets Stephen King, dressed up in holiday tinsel, in this fun, festive, and frightening horror-comedy set during the horror publishing boom of the ’80s, by New York Times best-selling satirist Andrew Shaffer.

Out of work for months, Lussi Meyer is desperate to work anywhere in publishing. Prestigious Blackwood-Patterson isn’t the perfect fit, but a bizarre set of circumstances leads to her hire and a firm mandate: Lussi must find the next horror superstar to compete with Stephen King, Anne Rice, and Peter Straub. It’s the ’80s, after all, and horror is the hottest genre.

But as soon as she arrives, Lussi finds herself the target of her coworkers’ mean-spirited pranks. The hazing reaches its peak during the company’s annual Secret Santa gift exchange, when Lussi receives a demonic-looking object that she recognizes but doesn’t understand. Suddenly, her coworkers begin falling victim to a series of horrific accidents akin to a George Romero movie, and Lussi suspects that her gift is involved. With the help of her former author, the flamboyant Fabien Nightingale, Lussi must track down her anonymous Secret Santa and figure out the true meaning of the cursed object in her possession before it destroys the company - and her soul.

I'm a sucker for a holiday horror and this really fit the bill. Shaffer’s Secret Santa is what happens when a retro horror paperback and a workplace comedy have a festive, mildly unhinged baby. It's spooky, but in a playful way, like a horror movie you watch with the lights on because you could get scared, but you’re hoping to laugh instead. A nice and quick read to get you into the holiday spirit

Perfect read to get into the holiday spirit

Fun little holiday horror. Nothing special but worth the read to get into the holiday spirit. 3.5/5 but rounding up.
