This was a really fun, short little alien horror story set at Christmas time, and I enjoyed it a lot! This was my first experience with Sergio Gomez's writing, but definitely won't be my last. I enjoyed all of the characters and felt oddly attached to them, for it to have been such a short story. If there was ever a full novel to follow up this story, I'd definitely read it.
