Satirist Christopher Moore has skewered many sacred cows in his day, and in his hilarious book The Stupidest Angel—available now for just $3.99—he turns the classic holiday trope on its head.

Billed as ‘A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror,’ The Stupidest Angel finds young Joshua Barker fretting about the upcoming holiday. You see, Joshua is pretty sure he witnessed Santa’s demise—the victim of foul play—and worries that the joy of Christmas is in serious jeopardy.

Yet all hope is not lost. An angel has been sent from on high to grant little Joshua a Christmas wish. Unfortunately Archangel Raziel is a bit of an underachiever, and he’s having a hard time helping Joshua save Christmas. In a raucous comedy of errors, the situation goes from bad to worse, and your belly will be shaking like a bowl full of jelly as you read this instant classic.

This special edition of The Stupidest Angel includes a sneak peek at Moore’s highly-anticipated upcoming book: Sacre Bleu, available now for pre-order.
