What They're Saying

Critics Review

“A touch of the supernatural, malefic colleagues and plenty of eccentricity.”– The Washington Post

“A touch of the supernatural, malefic colleagues and plenty of eccentricity.”—The Washington Post

“Shaffer writes with a keen eye for the tropes of the genre but also a sharply ironic sense of humour…provides chuckles and chills in equal measure.”—Financial Times

“Writing with a biting, dry wit, Shaffer blends old school, B-movie gore and sharp send-ups of office politics and the publishing industry. Fans of classic slasher novels will revel in this blood-soaked romp.”—Publishers Weekly

“[A] devilishly farcical ode to horror novels and publishing in general….Anyone who ventures into this snarky, dark novel will never look at a holiday gift exchange the same way again.”—Booklist

“A superbly crafted, impressively original, and inherently riveting read from cover to cover.”Midwest Book Review

“Shaffer delivers chills and laughs — he is fundamentally a comedic writer — in a story that leads into Halloween and Christmas like a good Tim Burton film.”—The Gazette

“An offbeat nostalgia trip, a narrative steeped in 1980s pastiche and featuring a unique plot that keeps readers guessing what’s happening … Secret Santa is a wonderful read any time of the year, but it’s devilishly appropriate for Christmastime — or perhaps Christmas in July.”—Hollywood Soapbox
