Dreaming of A Grim Christmas

Anthony Lund

A Grim Reaper novella. It is Christmas time and a routine collection for Grim leads him into a race against time of biblical proportions. Literally.

 

Grim Reaper and Pinkie, his dim but loyal cohort that can only loosely be refered to as an assistant, find themselves in a disruption of time that could see the erasure of the entire human race. Someone is messing with one of humanities pivotal events and causing shockwaves through the future of the world and Existence. Grim and Pinkie must locate the source of the disturbance and make sure everything is returned to normal before the Business of Life suddenly finds itself out of stock. Join the duo on a mission through time as they encounter some familiar characters, familiar places and go about some good old grim reaping.

Hullo Anthony. Another of your great books, so funny but yet makes you think. Already shelved and backed.
Please take a look at my book if you have not and thanks for that.

Hello Anthony and I see you have a few books on site and of course I am making my way throuhg them all. THis one is really good. Funny, and oh so readable. loved it. Well crafted with characters that pop into my head wont go and have decided to make up permanent residence. In the case of your characters I dont mind. JUst cant wait to read the others. I have not completly read all this yet but will continue. ...I have one comment about the long pitch and that is to put para in. This may be the first possbile read your potential publishers will have of your book and it gives the iompression of being a little long, which of course it is not....But only a suggestion....backed of course.....I am so glad I crossed over to another genre, as it gave me the chance to read comment and BACK your book......Please review my book and COMMENT and if you feel so, BACK it. either way the BEST of luck with yours

Now this line is too good: "Grim broke rules on more occasions than he collected the souls of lemmings." I actually did laugh out loud. How I love to find something DIFFERENT like this. I hope it makes it into print and I hope someone makes a movie out of it after that. Good luck with it!

Very funny, and a more realisitic depiction of Christmas than the traditional Christian one. Imaginative, economically written, but very funny. THis is excellent. Simon
