A friend passed this book on to me stating that it was "interesting" and it is.
Some may call it "irreverent, blasphemous, idiotic, exaggerated" and so on, however, it is "interesting".
Written by Seth Grahame-Smith, the Unholy Night, (Grand Central Publishing, NY, 2012) revolves around Christmas Eve and the birth of the Christ Child.
Many of the Biblical names that we have heard many times such as Pontius Pilate, Herod, Caesar, the magus, Herod, Balthazar, Mary and Joseph and others are prominent players in the book.
It is an alternate ? (author's opinion) of what may have occurred that night involving the Three Kings and the aforementioned people. Of course, frankincense and myrhh, gold and riches and the devastating heat of the desert are all tied in as well.
The author is the New York Times best selling author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and also adapted the screenplay for Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter along with numerous other works.
