When Elves Attack
Few can give with the generosity and creativity of bighearted psychopath Serge Storms.
Like Santa, Serge knows who's been naughty and who's been nice. As December 24 rolls around, he is to be found filling up the Serge sleigh with an unforgettable bag of presents.
Dorsey offers the perfect antidote for all those sappy feel-good holiday stories with this zany blockbuster extravaganza in which his wonderfully deranged local historian-serial killer delivers his special brand of Christmas cheer.
More outrageous than Santa Claus in a Speedo, When Elves Attack serves up a Yuletide feast of the “pure gonzo humor” the New York Times Book Review enthusiastically attributes to this fearlessly funny writer.
Welcome to Tim Dorsey’s slice of America – where nobody gets out unscathed and un-Santa-Claused!

Reviews
Praise for the Serge Storm Series
'Hilarious... Serge Storms is, hands down, one of the most original and just-plain-captivating characters in modern crime fiction'
'The characters in Tim Dorsey’s raucous novel would be shot on sight in any other state'
'In Serge Storms, the convivial, schizoid torturer with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Florida, Dorsey has created a truly lovable loon'
'Twisted hilarity … a compelling page-turner … a book that, if it was not funny, would be very, very frightening … Tim Dorsey is one sick bunny'
'A newer, nuttier individual is introduced on practically every page … It’s a sweet relief to discover that Dorsey can keep up with himself. Heaven knows nobody else can …'
'Entertaining … funny … irreverent and loving at the same time … [Dorsey] leaves the reader gasping for breath'
'Excellent … I almost exploded with laughter as I read Dorsey’s novel. It’s manic, hysterical, and puts Dorsey well up there with the cream of comic writers who seem to have made Florida the centre for satirizing America in the 21st century'
