This story could be named “It’s A Wonderful Gay Christmas
Carol” because themes from these stories can be seen in Amory’s Stocking
Stuffer from JMS Books. The main
character, Logan is a workaholic, never taking time off, even during the
holidays to see his younger brother Dave, the only family he has left.
Dave calls him and begs him to come over for Christmas
dinner and meet his new girlfriend.
Logan gives him a non-committal answer and hangs up.
A moment of inattention while driving leads to an
unfortunate meeting between Logan’s car and a semi-tractor trailer on a slick,
snowy road. Logan wakes up in the house
where he grew up when his parents were still alive. He is greeted by a mysterious but handsome
stranger, Michael.
Michael fills the roles of Clarence the angel from “It’s A
Wonderful Life” and the Ghost of Christmas Past and the Ghost of Christmas
Present from “A Christmas Carol”.
I’ll let the reader discover how it all plays out but this
was an easy, enjoyable read, although a little on the predictable side.
