Book review: Peter Cratchit’s Christmas Carol

Hello there, you pornies. Up to no good these holiday season? I hope so.

I don’t usually read Christmas-themed stories, but when I read the synopsis of Peter Cratchit’s Christmas Carol, by Drew Marvin Frayne, I thought Let’s give this one a chance, sounds like a good book. And o-m-g so it was!

We all know the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, the tyrant that hated Christmas more than anything and that lived for his business, but whatever happened to the other characters? In this book, we discover what was of little Peter Cratchit after Uncle Scrooge changed, and let me tell you that he didn’t so good: depressed, poor, traumatized, man-whore and famished are the first adjectives I can think about when describing this poor guy. Lucky him, there are three spirits on the way that will try to change things for the better.

Peter Cratchit’s Christmas Carol is a charming story about surviving stigma and the odds, with a character so human that it hurts to see what he has become years after the original tale ended. As a sequel, this book is loyal to the myth created by Dickens, but also with a magic of its own. It had its dark moments, let me tell you, in a Gothic vein you will enjoy for sure.

I loved how Drew Marvin Frayne developed the plot and the characters. He has a way of getting you into the scenarios so easy that I may be inclined to think he is a witch as well. Oh, well, one can dream. Anyway, he was brave enough to describe how Peter survives at the beginning of this tale, selling his body for miserable meals, but was also sweet and hot when he needed to be. You wouldn’t expect me to speak about a novel if it didn’t have sex, right? And this one, darlings, has a good dose of steamy scenes to get you aroused.

To be honest, I read it in almost a day, but since I started it late in the night I couldn’t continue. Really, I had to force myself to sleep before returning to this book. Peter Cratchit’s Christmas Carol, by Drew Marvin Frayne, offers valuable lessons, and yes, even a Grinch can enjoy this sweet, festive tale. Thanks to the publisher for the copy!
