About this listen

When Cisco Collins returns to his home town 30 years after saving it from being swallowed by a hell mouth opened by an ancient pirate ghost, he realizes that being a childhood hero isn't like it was in the movies. Especially when nobody remembers the heroic bits - even the friends who once fought alongside him.

Struggling with single parenting and treated as bit of a joke, Cisco isn't really in the Christmas spirit like everyone else. A fact that's made worse by the tendrils of the pirate's powers creeping back into our world and people beginning to die in bizarre ways.

With the help of a talking fox, an enchanted forest, a long-lost friend haunting his dreams, and some '80s video game consoles turned into weapons, Cisco must now convince his friends to once again help him save the day. Yet they quickly discover that being a ghostbusting hero is so much easier when you don't have schools runs, parent evenings, and nativity plays to attend. And even in the middle of a supernatural battle, you always need to bring snacks and wipes....

Fun-tastical

Refreshingly fun 80s nostalgic journey with elements of adventure and horror. This book proves that not all books have to be taken seriously, some are best just to be enjoyed

Great Story, Terrible Ending

I really enjoyed the premise of this story, what happens when the teenage heroes grow up, have families and are called on to be heroes again? How do you balance saving the world with school pickups and marriages? Great premise, vivid action scenes, all wrapped up with holiday cheer.

Everything was so good, this would easily be 5 stars all around for me if it werent for the end. The last 20 minutes were so bad. The ending is a massive cop out that requires a sacrifice from the story's most innocent players. Held together with a vague promise to "fix it" and then cut to black. Terrible.

Great idea that fell short

I feel like nothing happened in this book. The idea was great but it was very slow moving.
