The Mince Pie That Ate Everybody
On the campus of Brackenford University, Christmas cheer is about to be violently, messily and hilariously shredded.
Dr. Percival Archibald Blenkinsop is a brilliant chemist, catastrophic klutz, and sworn enemy of festive baked goods. And he has finally created the crowning glory of all of his limited achievements...
He’s concocted a serum designed to render every mince pie on Earth completely inedible. Unfortunately for humanity, his experiment doesn’t ruin a mince pie…it mutates one.
And now it’s hungry.
Exploding from the lab as a towering, syrup-glazed abomination, the Mince Pie Monster begins its rampage—devouring students, staff, police officers, and anyone foolish enough to deliver a witty one-liner before being chomped. As the carnage spreads across campus, Percival and Gwen—a lab assistant whose intelligence rivals her looks—race to build a weapon capable of stopping a creature powered by pure holiday spite.
Armed with improvised tech, questionable courage, and a soundtrack straight out of a 90s horror marathon, they must face a monster that grows bigger with every bite…before the entire country becomes its next Christmas snack.
Gruesome, ridiculous, and gloriously over-the-top, The Mince Pie That Ate Everybody is David W. Adams' first comedy-horror romp stuffed with chaos, carnage, and more pastry-based terror than anyone ever asked for. Perfect for fans of creature features, holiday mayhem, and stories that take nothing—including themselves—too seriously.

Review of advance copy
Proof reading this was fun!! DWA has weaved a comedic horror in time for christmas, with fourth-wall breaking, references to popular media, and even his own previous works - Professor Blenkinsop and Gwen face christmas horror when the genetic manipulation of a mince pie goes wrong, dead wrong.
I'm gonna need t-shirts of all the one liners

The moral of the story? ... Let inanimate pastry lie 😂
