Summary: 5 Stars
I read Sausagey Santa a few years ago and it remains one of my favorite CM3 books. It never fails to get me into the Christmas spirit every December. If you're a sucker for Christmas, and you like bizarro, then I guarantee you'll love this. The story centers on the Fry family and how they get caught up in a Christmas battle between good and evil. There are gigantic fight scenes, explosions, decapitations, Christmas fetish sex, Nazi snowmen, illicit affairs with Santa's elves, an adventure rock band, and a chainsaw angel. And Santa's made of sausages, by the way. What could you possibly not like about that?
It's written with an obvious love of the holiday, but Sausagey Santa isn't the typical jolly holiday fodder. Most notable is the lack of focus on so-called family values. This Christmas involves the Fry family, a group of weirdos so dysfunctional they had to come from Carlton Mellick's mind. They attempt to help Santa save Christmas from the evil Frosty the Snowman, and when the dust settles in that battle, the Fry family is not brought together but rather warped and perverted. This is how Mellick satirizes the typical Christmas story, pointing out that the positive atmosphere of the holiday season just isn't real. As much talk as there is of "Peace on Earth" during Christmas time, that positive attitude can hardly coexist with normal reality during the rest of the year. The Fry family discovers this when each of them gets what they want for Christmas. They learn that the reason Christmas is special is because it comes only once a year, something that we all know deep down.
