The Claus Effect
A War, Urban Fantasy, Fantasy book. Even though the book is only about 240 pages long, the middle third of it is unnecessary...
"The Claus Effect" is a continuation of "The Toy Mill," the 1993 Aurora-Award-winning story about a malevolent, post-industrial-revolution Santa Claus and Emily, the little girl whose wish to be a Christmas Elf nearly destroys the world. The Claus Effect takes up eights years later, when events propel teen-aged Emily and West Point cadet Neil Nyman on a breakneck journey through suburban shopping malls, Ontario cottage country, and the frigid northern wastes of the former Soviet Union - battling displaced Cossacks, blue-blooded cottagers and homicidal, down-sized elves along the way. Finally, they must face down the terrifying truth: about Christmas, the New World Order - and the Claus Effect.

More About The Claus Effect
Even though the book is only about 240 pages long, the middle third of it is unnecessary and repetitive action sequences. They are meant to be humorous, but the jokes involving gun battles with Santa's elves are exhausted early on. The writing style of the action was off-putting, I would lose interest and skim over it sometimes. Maybe... A brilliantly dark look at the ugly sides of humanity at the holiday. Possibly a little dated by it's early 90s setting but the themes and ideals still ring true. All underscored by a prose voice unafraid of dark humour among some genuine terror. This book is very different; dark, absurd, skewed humour, Santa Claus run amok.
