\"Gabriel<\/a><\/div>\n
Galactic Holiday: The Darkside of Christmas Past reimagines Christmas mythology as a battle between an ancient, wounded titan and the fragile balance that keeps the world turning.<\/div>\n

Chisasibi, Quebec — September 10, 2026 — Author Gabriel Snowboy expands Christmas mythology into a full-scale fantasy world in Galactic Holiday: The Darkside of Christmas Past, [Ebook, Paperback, Hardcover], available now through [https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0HCDNB9YQ]<\/p>\n

The novel imagines the North Pole as the visible surface of something much older: a world built on top of a sleeping titan. Ymir, a primordial frost giant tied to the first ice and the first mountains, has lain dormant for centuries in a hidden Underworld realm. War, mining, and a climate that no longer holds its old patterns are enough to wake him.<\/p>\n

The only thing standing between Ymir and the surface world is a line of guardians descended from Persephone, tasked for generations with keeping the seasons in balance. The latest of them, Anita Skyrider, has held that line largely alone, and largely in secret from her own son, Duke, a boy she left at Santa’s workshop to be raised without her.<\/p>\n

When the ground beneath the North Pole starts to crack, Duke is pulled into a world he didn’t know existed: a shifting Crystal Labyrinth built to test honesty rather than combat skill, guarded by Asterion, a wise and weary Minotaur; the underground realm of the Serephai, a civilization long mistaken by the world above for monsters; and a mother he is meeting, in any real sense, for the first time.<\/p>\n

Snowboy uses the mechanics of a holiday adventure to ask a harder question: whether an ancient force built out of old wounds can be defeated without simply becoming another wound. Duke’s path through the book has less to do with strength than with what he’s willing to admit, to a mother he’s just met, and to himself.<\/p>\n

“The monster was never the point,” Snowboy said. “I wanted a story where the scary thing underground turns out to be less dangerous than the fear and silence that let it grow in the first place.”<\/p>\n

Galactic Holiday: The Darkside of Christmas Past is written for middle-grade readers and older, and for anyone drawn to mythology-driven fantasy that treats its holiday setting as more than backdrop.<\/p>\n

About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gabriel Snowboy writes fantasy fiction that reworks familiar myths and holiday traditions into larger, stranger worlds. His stories tend to circle the same questions: what people bury to survive, what it costs to keep it buried, and what changes once it’s finally brought into the light.<\/p>\n
