Santa Claus Conquers the Homophobes has received its first review, in The Harrow, and it's a good 'un.
Excerpts:
"The premise concerns Santa's immortal stepdaughter Wendy using her talents to see into the futures of the children of the world and seeing the promise of one life snuffed out due to homophobia and intolerance. At her behest, Santa sends up an entry to God himself to intervene and save young Jamie Stratton's life. Working through Archangel Michael, God allows Santa and Wendy--with the help of the happily castrated Easter Bunny--to visit those whose intolerance will lead to Jamie's ultimate suicide in an attempt to persuade them to change their ways and embrace diversity. The Tooth Fairy gets wind of his plans and does everything within her power to stop him."
"The Tooth Fairy [is] one of the most delightfully wicked villains in any book I've read in the past five years, a creation that can cause other writers to feel a mixture of admiration and jealousy that they didn't come up with a character that much fun and evil."
"a wonderful mix of ancient mythology and childhood icons . . a hell of an accomplishment . . . startlingly original and daring"
