I finished reading another of my Christmas gift books: Father Gaetano's Puppet Catechism. The novella comes from Hellboy mastermind Mike Mignola and his frequent collaborator Christopher Golden, it tells the tale of a young priest and his first post World War II assignment at a church / orphanage. That would be an interesting enough of a story, even without the creepy haunted puppets, which of course this book has.

The other day a friend asked via the Facebook what my favourite book of the year was, for the non-comic book genre, this one is it.
