Spirits In A Material World

By Colin Quashie

The first clue to the mysteries surrounding a scientist's disappearance and a banker's death is provided when 6-year-old Austen Fisher writes a letter to Santa questioning his existence. Her doubt sets in motion a chain of events that places her and her family at the center of a plot to kill Santa Claus, hijack Christmas and exploit mankind's focus on greed and exploitation of the holiday season.Paying homage to Charles Dickens classic tale, 'A Christmas Carol', 'Spirits in a Material World' picks up where he left off by cleverly re-imagining the original roles of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. In spectacular detail, it transforms the tiny, toy-making hamlet of North Pole into a technologically advanced metropolis, home to Christmas Industries and its CEO, Santa Claus.Along the way, it delivers a witty, yet biting commentary on today's 'greed is good' economy, while relaying a powerful message of love, hope, charity, and faith in everything Christmas represents.
