Praise for The Dreaded Feast:
"A wonderfully irreverent look at the holidays. A must for the Christmas cynic on your list."
-USA Today
One of USA Today's 2009 "12 Books of Christmas"
"If you embrace the darker side of Christmas, then this is definitely the book for you."
-Chicago Sun-Times
"Thank the 'X' in 'Xmas' for The Dreaded Feast, [which] collects essays, short stories, and poetry that attack Hallmark holidays with all the neurotic humor one expects from contributors like Jonathan Ames, Fiona Maazel, and Calvin Trillin."
-The New Yorker
"Amid the twinkly decorations, dancing sugar plums, and ubiquitous holiday cheer, a bracing dose of dark humor might be nice, don't you think? For book lovers, we're recommending a volume that offers just that: The Dreaded Feast."
-Raleigh News & Observer
