I love Zombie Santa, he’s my kinda guy ❤️ You really need to read this to see why I adore his axe-murderering ass so much.
This short story was not at all what I expected. I mean, I knew it would be cool from the cover and the title but I had no idea what I was getting into. It’s packed full of frightfully good festivity: Post apocalyptic setting. Zombies. A cult. Little kids. Santa. An axe. Blood. Gore. Fast pacing. A super satisfying ending. This little holiday gem has it all!
But wait, there’s more!! It’s by an indie author (which scores it major points in my book) AND all proceeds benefit our small furry friends who are waiting for forever homes in the non-profit Bacchus Residents Rescue! Help lovely little rodents and rabbits by gifting yourself with this holiday horror treat!

When @addamsastrid asked me if I wanted to read her story “Zombie Santa Claus: Axe Murderer Edition” I said yes without hesitation. With a title like that, how could you not? Oh man, I had no idea what I was getting into!
This story is short, brutal, and all kinds of disturbing. It’s set post-zombie invasion, and focuses on two kids whose parents are part of church that believes abuse is the best way to exorcise sin. All of the kids this Christmas are wishing for the new Zombie Santa Claus toy...and for better or worse they get what they wished for!
This story is unsettling from the get-go, but it takes a few pages before revealing just how messed up it is. This story is twisted! It also has a great ending. It’s certainly not what I expected to read on Christmas, but if you’re looking for more Christmas horror then I’d say give it a shot! Oh, and all proceeds are going to benefit Bacchus Residents Rescue (local animal rescue and sanctuary). How cool is that?
