It's that time of the year again, when everyone's favourite big elf dressed in red hits town to spread joy and wonder among the masses.
No, I'm not talking about Santa Claus... I'm talking about SHANTA Claus!!!!
Back around the dawn of time, I wrote a short online Christmas story set just after the events of Tunnels Of Blood. I reposted it over the coming yuletides, and updated it every time I dusted off the digital mothballs. It's now a fairly LONG short story that draws in characters from all my major series, plus some of my one-off books.
I also use the story to briefly update my fans on what I've released recently, and -- even more excitingly -- I drop hints about what's coming next. This year, as well as chatting about where I am with my Archibald Lox series, I talk about what MIGHT be next for me on the writing front, plus what's been happening with the potential Cirque Du Freak reboot that I mentioned last year -- and there HAVE been very recent developments, which I'm exclusively revealing for the first time in the story!!!
To book a visit with SHANTA, click on the following link, to be directed to the page on my web site where the story is now back in residence until shortly after Christmas Day: https://darrenshan.com/extras/feature/short-stories-shanta-claus-only-available-at-christmas-yuletide-favourite2
You can also find a couple of other temporary seasonal treats on my site. Firstly, a few years ago I wrote a fun update of that old favourite, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, and you can check out my version (much better than the original, of course!) here: https://darrenshan.com/extras/feature/twas-the-night-before-christmas
Secondly, if you're looking for some "alternative" Christmas songs to sing this yuletide, I've taken several and reworded them to include references to my books. Why? Why not?!? You can find them here: https://darrenshan.com/extras/feature/christmas-songs
MERRY FREAKING CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY!!!!
Darren.
