Merry Christmas (it is Christmas)

This year (which is 2023 because it is still December and Christmas) I'm pleased to bring you a brand new retelling of the underloved, underappreciated, and underadapted Charles Dickens Masterpiece, A Christmas Carol starring our favourite Man in Grey, who will finally be confronted with his past, forced to see his present with clarity, and learn to change for the better lest he get murdered by a skeleton ghost. So, turn off your lights, fill up a mug with boiling water, and enjoy the 100% normal festivities!

The cover is by the wonderful Aristide Twain (https://aristidetwain.tumblr.com/) - It's weird because, when they sent it my way, I don't remember there being a lizard in it... eh, it's probably just a rendering error or something, Discord compression can be a bit weird sometimes.

It has been over a year since the Man in Grey was banished from Oz, and now he returns to face proper judgment from Queen Ozma herself. Will he show he deserves to be pardoned so that he can finally roam freely in Oz, or will circumstances outside of his control prevent him from achieving this dream? Well, nothing's too certain in the Land of Oz...
