I think that we are not born with karma. People don't create their own karma. Karma is caused by other people and the interactions of the world upon outcomes. The book cleverly delves into the consciousness of demonic force on a naive young woman's mind that is turning bitter. The utilization of an object as a symbolic instrument affecting mindset was the finest element of horror. The sole perspective of the character added to the suspense of the story. I recommend this chilling story, that culminates into a shocking end. I will definitely be reading more of Eagle's work. Arc Reader.

This book was awesome,  I love the destiny aspects, that run through it. 


Karma Cop, is well written,  and has twists and turns, that you may not be  expecting. 


It's definitely made me think twice about caravan parks and nodding type ornaments!!


Thank you for a great read.

What Did I Just Walk Into?
A Santa-adjacent snake demon delivering personalized karma via trailer park haunting. That is apparently a sentence I can now type with confidence.

Here’s What Slapped:
This novella wastes zero time. The horror shows up fast and stays weird in the best possible way. The Santa Snake Karma Cop is unsettling, absurd, and oddly fascinating all at once. Raven is deeply flawed but painfully human, which makes the story land harder than expected. Mr. Eagle balances grotesque creature horror with emotional accountability in a way that keeps the pages moving. The camper imagery alone is going to live rent-free in my brain for a while. The twist ending seals the deal and makes the whole ride worth it.

What Could’ve Been Better:
At only 85 pages, I would not have complained about a little more time with the mythology behind Akanta or the Karma Cop concept. The weirdness is strong enough to support a longer descent.

Perfect for Readers Who Love:
creature horror with personality
morally messy characters
trailer park gothic vibes
fast horror novellas with sharp endings
“bad decisions meet supernatural consequences” stories

Sum-Up:
Weird, mean, and surprisingly emotional horror about consequences catching up in the ugliest way possible. Short, sharp, and deeply satisfying.

This was brilliant! Karma is not just a b*tch - here it is a cannibal, Santa lizard-like creature (sometimes wearing a speedo lol), ready to devour every moment of your day till you're drowning in your own mistakes, and you're finally ready to own up to them. The tale is heartbreaking: Raven has been a selfish, toxic, and unrepentant mess all her life; now divorced and slowly revising her relationship to her parents, she finds herself facing a supernatural menace dressed as a mysterious, new trailer park neighbor. Little does she realize that this is no mere occasion for regret and pleas for second chances - karma is finally calling, and Raven won't be able to avoid this call!

Eagle's writing is top-notch in this short novella, arguably his best so far. Raven feels absolutely real; in fact, I believe we all know someone like her, and some of us have even lived to regret it. Still, I for one couldn't convince myself to hate her: she's portrayed with so much empathy and subtlety, she soon grew on me and I was curious what her fate would turn out to be. The resolution was absolute satisfaction and gave her tale a nice spin on payback and the wheel of suffering. Highly recommend!

This was a pile of insanity of a fever dream and I want to be back there now. Whilst mostly being terrifying (especially the fingers) there was a hell of a chunk of heartbreak and desperation laced throughout the whole story. Of course there was still one last mention of the fabulous Dr Effucuss. I for one want to see what happens in the new reality Raven has found herself in! I hope for a sequel!

This fast paced, quick read packs a punch! The "monster" is crazy and it was actually enjoyable to see the totally unlikable main character get the karma she deserves. The ending had a twist I did not see coming, which added to the fun! If you enjoy weird horror, check this one out!
