Tinsel & Ash - A Holiday Fable in Six Staves

By Matt Stone

Book Overview

A Christmas fable for the brokenhearted, the burned-out, and the ones still holding on.

In a city strangled by greed and glossed over with fake holiday cheer, two figures emerge. They're not here to spread joy. They're here to haunt hypocrisy, to unearth what's been buried beneath gala gowns and corporate charity, to remind the powerful what they've chosen to forget.

Part Dickensian ghost story, part darkly poetic protest, Holiday & Ash is a razor-edged tale wrapped in tinsel and truth. Told in six staves, it follows a pair of damaged saints who crash the season's most exclusive events - not with sleigh bells, but with Polaroids, coal, and consequences.

This isn't your typical holiday tale.
There are no cozy farmhouses. No sugarplum redemption arcs.
Only ghosts. Grit. And the fierce, flickering light of two people who refuse to let the season lie.

For anyone who's ever felt invisible during the holidays.
For anyone who's screamed into a mall speaker system playing "Silent Night."
For anyone who's wanted to set fire to a system that leaves the hungry cold and calls it tradition -
