Santa Demon

Southeast Asia Paranormal Police Department #2.5

by John P. Logsdon, Noah K. Sturdevant

What’s even Better than loving Santa? Being Santa!

Bert the demon loves Christmas. The gifts, the music, the yearly seafood buffet, the orgy...what's not to like?

But, like all children, he eventually finds out Santa isn’t who he thought.

The good news is, unlike everyone else, Santa Claus actually is his mom. Even better, she wants Bert to take over the job. The bad news is there’s more to the job than stuffing stockings and getting his bells jingled.

So what's a demon to do?

Drag his friend Mark Vedis along for the ride, of course.

Join Bert, Mark, and the Santa team as they go through hell in their quest to bring a merry Christmas to all.

Especially for Bert.

Interesting re-interpretation

As strange as it sounds, this story actually makes sense in the context of the larger Far East PPD world. Bert ascends to the post of Santa when his mother, the demon queen, decides to retire from the job. And who else would fill the roll of Santa's little helper but Bert's bondmate, Mark Vedis. Prepare for a wild, semi-educational, and somewhat x-rated tour of the levels of hell. Deciding who's naughty and nice takes on new meaning in the hell realms.

This was a darn cute story with Bert, the demon being Santa Claus...none like we ever heard of...and Verdis took the role as Krampus. A Demon Christmas is not like ours. It has good and bad gifts, violence, blood, contract signing and missing out on your sweetie Christmas Eve night. Verdis must protect Bert while he delivers the gifts to the levels of hell and Verdis sees that Bert has matured a little bit. An excellent story, raunchy at times, but worth reading for those that are fans of these authors. Good read.

Nice Holiday Humourous Short

This is a moving tale of Xmas cheer, blood, demons, sex and strange goings on in the underworld.
It's a tradition and one that Mark is going to have to help Bert with or otherwise they will be no presents and the chaos will rule.
This is great world building as we see a different side of the underworld that we wouldn't normally see.
Making for a great stocking filler although you don't want to see what else is in them.

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

In this short story, Bert and Mark team up to play Santa and Krampus and bring all sorts of things to the good little demons in hell.

Another fun read from the world of the Paranormal Police Dept, and a good filler until the next full book in the series comes out

We got a Christmas gift that was unique. I’ve gotta say, the demons’ beliefs of the holiday make as much sense as the humans ones, sometimes more. Those poor Yeti. I love how Bert can be a perv one minute, but bring up Santa and he becomes idealistic mush. One of the reasons Mark killed Dolph, aside from self-defense, was that jack-hole spoiling Santa for Bert.

You have to read this book.

Do not even think about skipping this in-between book. It is too amazing to miss out on. I laugh way to much with this author. A Demon Santa Claus. It is so well written with witty dialogue and ingenious explanation of how we get our Christmas Traditions and where they "really" come from.

Santa Demon

Queen LucyFur has passed the mantle to get son, Bert. It's up to Mark to keep Bert safe while he makes our as Santa Claus to all the circles of hell, so Mark takes on the role of Krampus... Let the fun begin!

An absolutely hilarious retelling, or "original" telling, of the Night Before Christmas. A raucous, fun short story.

[Audrey Cienki · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have always wondered where the term carol (Christmas carol) originated. Thank you Noah. This is a quick read and a cute story.

An Xmas cracker

As a little apperitif before the big event this was brilliant! Very imaginative reworking of the Christmas tradition! Wonder what Easter is?

[Bonnie Dale Keck · Rating 5 out of 5]

kindle unlimited, had to give this a read, the Mark Vedis/Southeast Asia PPD is one of a 'universe' that has started and just had to see what this one was about, especially since the first 2 were so close together so don't see third one being out right away.

While the humor and inventiveness of the story were fun as always, pretty much every other sentence was sexual or potty humor. It got really old really fast. Mark is almost a non character in the story since it is really an excuse to introduce us to the creatures of the nine levels of hell. So it was amusing but definitely not as enjoyable as the others in the series.

[Liz Christensen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Like watching a crash in slo-mo. You can't look away!

If you love inappropriate, irreverent humor then this goofy Christmas short is right up your alley. Mark Vedis and Bert are my favorite PPD characters.

[Carolyn Fielding · Rating 4 out of 5]

Christmas will never be quite the same again!

[Todd · Rating 4 out of 5]

This short story was included at the end of Penang Pixie. A highly humorous tale of Bert serving as Santa and Vedis as his sidekick and bodyguard Krampus
