Bottom Line Up Front: Santa Claus is Dracula. Oh, you want proof? Let’s briefly look at the life of St. Nicholas. (Start with Earth, says Ken. Start with Wikipedia, says I.)

Triangulate the impossible. Correlate a spate of disappearances, ELINT chatter, rumours you picked up from an old spy in a Viennese bar, and the nightmares of children to find where monsters make their lair.

“The last conscious effort which imagination made was to show me a livid white face bending over me out of the mist. I must be careful of such dreams, for they would unseat one’s reason if there were too much of them.” — Mina Harker’s journal, 1 October (26 July 1894) Dracula isn’t the only […]
