Gallant tackles a brave venture in his version of the events that changed Ebenezer Scrooge and he has come out a victor A New Version of A Christmas Carol, adds more color, more characters and, more ghosts Meet this version of Scrooge, along with his partner in nastiness, Marley as they revel in destroying lives, and pinching every penny until it turns blue. Bob Cratchet is still working for them, and Tiny Tim is just as ill, just as adorable and kind-hearted, but we also get to see him as a little boy, longing for friends and to be able to have snowball fights like the other boys. This Scrooge is not visited by three ghosts; he gets several, revealing just how awful he was. Will this Scrooge see the error of his ways before it's too late or will he succumb to the darkness waiting gleefully to torture him for eternity? What secrets do Scrooge and Tim share? A. J. Gallant has taken a wonderful tale and given it a more dramatic spin, while applying his own brand of darkness, charm and fantasy. Well-told, with a few surprises along the way, this is like a new and improved version of a timeless classic, with more ghosts, more life altering events, all while keeping in the spirit of the season. Get to know each character better, while you are at it Most of the characters are back in this NEW version of A Christmas Carol. The story's delivery is different than the original though just as entertaining. Marley is alive and just as cantankerous as Scrooge, feeding off one another and making everyone around them miserable. Even grave robbing is not too dastardly for these two.
