About this listen

What if the remarkable story of Ebenezer Scrooge was true? What if the account was relayed to Dickens, and he turned it into A Christmas Carol? What if the ghostly visitations did not begin or end with Scrooge, but the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and yet to come visit one misanthropic soul in need of reclamation every Christmas Eve? This modern-day sequel to the Charles Dickens classic assumes all of the above. And this time, the spiritual trio’s attentions have been directed to a not-so-nice woman in Philadelphia.

Ellie Printh is a 53-year-old heart transplant survivor and wealthy business owner who loves no one, and has no intention of changing that. On the anniversary of the life-saving operation performed seven Christmas Eves prior, the spirit of her equally irascible heart donor warns her she will be visited by three ghosts, looking to reform her character and give her a fresh start.

But will this supernatural encounter change Ellie for good, or are some people simply too stuck in their ways?

John Derr’s Dickens-inspired novel is a Christmas story that can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Exploring some big themes including childhood trauma and abuse, Another Christmas Carol’s message will stay with listeners long after they finish.

Compelling Parallels to the Original

The story kept up with the theme of ghostly visits which lead to eventual redemption. Listeners must pay very close attention, as there are so many characters to keep up with. It is easy to "miss something" in terms of the details. The story takes an extremely long, winding road to the finish line. However, stick with the story, the final outcome is worth the journey, as the end is tear-jerking, hopeful, warm, cozy, and very satisfying.

Uplifting, heartwarming, ghostly

Christmastime in a small charming neighborhood of Philadelphia, a greedy and isolated woman, the myriad of town folks and employees she exploits and abuses, and the ghosts who give her the opportunity to forgive, heal, and change. A very warm hearted book for those cold winter nights.

I love the original and always enjoy being taken on this journey from greed and selfishness to generosity and compassion. Thank you John Derr!

Also I really love the voice actor in this audio version. Great job!

Truly a gift anytime of year!

Heartwarming, surprising and nostalgic. John Derr has both recaptured the imagination and rekindled the spirit within this Dickens classic. It is a must read for all who want to reconnect with their hearts. This story is timeless and refreshingly new as John brings archetypes to life in the present day. Filled with spirit, spirits and inspiration!
