“Fun Twist on Dickens’ Classic” ‘Curses for Christmas’ Takes Aim at Holiday Cheer
New York, NY: Humorist Books, imprint of comedy magazine Weekly Humorist, announced a new book release for the holiday season, Curses for Christmas, by acclaimed author, artist, and cartoon editor Brandon Hicks. A follow-up to the wickedly funny Seven Easy Steps to Go to Hell, this adult-themed, elaborately illustrated holiday book pokes fun at saccharine holiday spirit.
Everybody’s favorite malevolent mischief-makers return in this sure-to-be holiday classic by author and illustrator Brandon Hicks. When Mary Anne’s fervent love of Christmas threatens to alienate her friends and family, demons Beezle, Buzzle, and Barb intervene to show Mary Anne how the holiday season “totally blows chunks.” Will the demons three succeed in convincing Mary Anne that Christmas is nothing but a crass, commercialist holiday rife with hypocrisy, or will Mary Anne’s stalwart devotion to all things yuletide win out, in this hilarious sequel to Seven Easy Steps to Go to Hell?
“Curses for Christmas is a really fun twist on Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol, updated for our modern, crass, commercialist sensibilities,” says Andy Newton, Editor of Humorist Books. “Brandon Hicks is a great storyteller, and his richly detailed illustrations bring the story to life.”
Brandon Hicks writes plays performed by real people, and draws cartoons performed by fake people. His work has appeared in Splitsider, The Syrup Trap, Weekly Humorist, American Bystander and regularly on The Rumpus, where he also serves as an associate cartoon editor. Unfortunately, he’s also Canadian.
Curses for Christmas is available now, at $13.99 paperback and 5.99 e-book on Amazon.com and wide release to bookstores and web outlets. For more information on Curses for Christmas, visit humoristbooks.com.
