====== Wonderworker - A Christmas Horror Serial Novella by Stephen Jacob Sekula ======

"Wonderworker" is a strange tale of Christmas horror fiction. The idea came to me at the end of the Fall, 2014 semester when I was thinking about a writing project for the holiday break. I like the idea of challenging myth, story, and legend, and so I conceived of this terrible tale of a scientist who goes in search of missing geologists and instead confronts the terrible reality behind Christmas mythology.

I released this over the holidays in December 2014 - January 2015. Below are links to the chapters as they were released. I was writing, editing, and releasing (not in that order) in real time. I consider this an unfinished work, even when it's done being told.
