Synopsis
This darkly humorous yet appropriately sentimental Christmas fable by the author of LAMB and THE LUST LIZARD OF MELANCHOLY COVE features several characters who first appeared in Christopher Moore's previous novels. Christmas is a season rife with good intentions gone awry. Lena Marquez, trespassing on her ex-husband Dale's land in order to steal Christmas trees and give them to the poor, has accidentally killed Dale (who was dressed in a Santa suit) with a shovel. A little boy who witnessed the murder now believes Santa is dead, and has subsequently prayed for Santa to return to life. Unfortunately, he does so within earshot of an appallingly clueless angel sent to Earth to perform a Christmas miracle by fulfilling a child's wish. It's going to be a holly, zombie Christmas....

Publisher's Note

Christmas crept into Pine Cove like a creeping Christmas thing: dragging garland, ribbon, and sleigh bells, oozing eggnog, reeking of pine, and threatening festive doom like a cold sore under the mistletoe.

'Twas the night (okay, more like the week) before Christmas, and all through the tiny community of Pine Cove, California, people are busy buying, wrapping, packing, and generally getting into the holiday spirit. It is the hap-hap-happiest time of the year, after all.

But not everybody is feeling the joy. Little Joshua Barker is in desperate need of a holiday miracle. No, he's not on his deathbed; no, his dog hasn't run away from home. But Josh is sure that he saw Santa take a shovel to the head, and now the seven-year-old has only one prayer: Please, Santa, come back from the dead.

But hold on! There's an angel waiting in the wings. (Wings, get it?) It's none other than the Archangel Raziel come to Earth seeking a small child with a wish that needs granting. Unfortunately, our angel's not sporting the brightest halo in the bunch, and before you can say "Kris Kringle," he's botched his sacred mission and sent the residents of Pine Cove headlong into Christmas chaos, culminating in the most hilarious and horrifying holiday party the town has ever seen.

Only Christopher Moore, the man who brought you the outrageous lost gospel Lamb and the hysterical fish tale Fluke could have devised a new holiday classic that tugs at the heartstrings and serves up a healthy slice of fruitcake to boot.

Move over, Charles Dickens -- it's Christopher Moore time.



Industry Reviews
"Hilarity abounds in Moore's latest satirical gem....This little slice of perverse Christmas cheer is enough to make even the most cynical Scrooge guffaw."
Publishers Weekly (10/04/2004)

"Mr. Moore, whose cult readership finds him delightful for good reason, marches to his own little drummer boy....THE STUPIDEST ANGEL is a gleeful string of gags and wisecracks....Mr. Moore is seriously wicked about humor....Mr. Moore is clearly the unhinged Hiaasen. He's "Daily Show"-funny and willing to subvert anything."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (10/14/2004)

"[A] good antidote for anyone involuntarily overdosing on Dickens and Disney in the holiday season....[T]horoughly silly, and a lot of fun."
Locus - Faren Miller (12/01/2004)

"[D]eliciously nasty....[A] refreshingly twisted anti-Christmas tale."
Locus - Carolyn Cushman (12/01/2004)
