Tis the Season: Short Reads

Front Cover
Pan Macmillan UK, Dec 1, 2010 - Fiction - 16 pages

Call me childish, but I love all the nonsense - the snow, the trees, the tinsel, the turkey. I love presents. I love carols and cheesy songs. I just love ChristmasTM.

It would be a dream come true to be able to celebrate Christmas properly: to wake up to a StockingTM, visit SantaTM and open PresentsTM around the Christmas TreeTM. But this is a luxury reserved for those with shares in YuleCo - controllers of this joyful season - who don't agree that it's a holiday for one and all.

In this short story, China Miéville's astonishing imagination allows us a glimpse of how a dystopian Christmas might be.
