3.5 stars, rounding down because I wish this was vaguely more Christmas-y (and less problematic in its depictions of women). That said, delightfully weird and dark, and definitely a fun short read!

What a strange story! I admit I had trouble wrapping my head around this, but maybe I need to dig a little deeper on a reread later on.
