The Road to Christmasland: Why You Can’t Escape Joe Hill’s NOS4A2

Enter . He drives a 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the vanity plate NOS4A2 (pronounced Nosferatu ). Manx abducts children, promising them a life of eternal joy in Christmasland , a terrifying amusement park where "unhappiness is against the law". The catch?
