The Last Visit: Stories and Poems

By Joe B. Slater

Not your typical warm-fuzzy Christmas book, The Last Visit offers an alternative look at the season, a view through the mask of Santa and his dark sidekick Krampus. To be sure, there are presents and candy, but they are bundled with switches in a duffle that can carry you off if you are not good. Learn how donning that mask transports the wearer into the magic of Christmas, why John Wayne shows up on garage doors, how making a list and checking it often doesn't guarantee you'll get what you wish or deserve. Read the story of the immortal Fourth Wise man, Artaban, of the first communicant, a coyote who followed the star behind the holy family. Listen to the voice of Mary Magdalene as she advises two young missionaries.
