#ShortStoryMonth Day Twenty-Seven — “A Little Queermas Carol,” by Sassafras Lowrey

Not As Short, But Oh So Sweet Ah, novellas! I love me novellas. And this one? A Little Queermas Carol is adorable. It's not the kind of thing I expected to say about a Queer Leather Little retelling of A Christmas Carol, but then again, having been lucky enough to meet Sassafras Lowrey a few times at the Saints and …
