Synopsis
Raziel, an angel who first appeared in Moore's earlier novel Lamb, is sent to Earth at Christmas to grant a child's wish. He chooses to help a boy who has just seen a man dressed as Santa Claus die. In Pine Cove, the town is preparing a community dinner at the church beside the cemetery. Raziel's clumsy attempt to revive the dead man goes badly wrong and brain-eating zombies rise from the graves near the church. Theo Crowe, Molly Michon, Lena Marquez, Tucker Case and the other townspeople have to deal with the siege.
