The Claus Effect

The Claus Effect is a continuation of “The Toy Mill”, the 1993 Aurora-Award-winning story about a malevolent, post-industrial-revolution Santa Claus and Emily, the little girl whose wish to be a Christmas Elf nearly destroys the world. The Claus Effect takes up eights years later, when events propel teen-aged Emily and West Point cadet Neil Nyman on a breakneck journey through suburban shopping malls, Ontario cottage country, and the frigid northern wastes of the former Soviet Union - battling displaced Cossacks, blue-blooded cottagers and homicidal, down-sized elves along the way. Finally, they must face down the terrifying truth: about Christmas, the New World Order - and the Claus Effect.

His stories have appeared in The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror, Tesseracts4, Tesseracts5, four volumes of the Northern Frights anthology series, and in magazines such as On Spec and Transversions. He works as a political reporter for a chain of Toronto community newspapers.
