As Londoners fear the dark for the creatures lurking in its shadows and the holidays approaching with tidings of great bleakness instead of joy, all that stands in the way are handfuls of those who are willing to stand up to these creatures and await the promised one who will be born to destroy the last of the evil vampires feasting on the unaware. In this retelling, Scrooge has been directed his whole life unknowingly by the Queen and King of vampires who have a vested interest in him. From the moment of his birth to his years at school to the very present, Scrooge has played a pivotal role in their machinations. And now at the most precarious moment for the humans of London and the world only one person's hope for Scrooge's deliverance can sway the balance. With the visit of three spirits Scrooge will become the fulcrum of the destiny of mankind. Will his humanity awaken to his fellows or will the cruelties visited upon him through his life render him incapable of compassion. With appearances by the characters that have made A Christmas Carol a classic for generations, this retelling will be a welcome addition to any bookshelf. For every warm fireside needs a little bit of chill to fully enjoy the warmth.
