When a convoy of angry children occupy a Christmas-themed amusement park in northern Canada, Little Jimmy, a sandwich artist with a heart of gold, and his sister, Bailey, find themselves running for their lives. This is no way to spend your summer vacation! The children want freedom from the lies of the deep state! They demand to know the truth about Santa Claus! As night sets in, the mob thickens. Attempts to reason with the unruly Santa Deniers prove futile. Nightmarish cries of UNWRAP THE TRUTH and MAKE CHRISTMAS GREAT AGAIN ring out through the park. As Santa's effigy smoulders, monstrous, deformed creatures crawl out of the forest to wreak havoc and egg on the violent protesters. Jimmy and Bailey turn to the only person who might help them: A demon named Karen who has escaped from Hell. The Rabbit Hole. The hilarious satire that puts the ho ho ho back in horror, the con back in conspiracy, and the dumb back in freedom. This is book II in The Sick Box Trilogy but can be read as a standalone.
