To all the Scrooge's out there, big and small, rich and poor. It's not too late. We can still interfere, for good, in human, and non-human, matters. Sacred Parasite wishes all who celebrate it, and all who don't, a festive and peaceful holiday. Till next year.

So good to see Sacred Parasite for sale inside ivallan's. They have those three pictured SP books and more SP books and you should definitely stop by and see what they're up to. ivallansbooks.com
