3.0
Hail Santa is a holiday horror bordering on splatter punk with its gruesome death scenes and festive references to popular holiday songs. The book starts off a little slow with backstory to the main characters and the town, but soon it turns to a quick paced murder spree as you rocket towards the finish line.... Christmas day.
It almost has a hidden feel of loss of faith vs. Consumerism concerning the popular holiday and makes you question if believing in Santa Claus is really an innocent right of passage for today's youth or borderline worship to something we know nothing about.
