The Stupidest Angel, by Christopher Moore
Poor little Joshua. 'Twas just before Christmas and he saw Santa take it in the chin. Literally. With a shovel. Dead and buried. Fortunately, the angel Raziel just happened to be in the neighborhood looking for a miracle to perform, and granting Joshua's wish for Santa to come back was but child's play. UNfortunately, like child-proof caps, it might have been better off left to a child, because Raziel muffs it, and suddenly the residents of Pine Cove are spending Christmas fighting off the undead.
Fans of Moore will be pleased to find some old acquaintances, including Roberto the fruitbat and Tucker Case, from Island of the Sequinned Love Nun, as well as denizens of The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove and Practical Demonkeeping. So if you ever wondered what happened next, you'll want to read this.
And if you've never read Christopher Moore, well, what are you waiting for? This is a great introduction to Moore's slightly-warped, but never mean, sense of humor.
