The Dreamlands Christmas Special

By Tom Mason with 6.8

It is Christmas eve and George Peabody is already on his third nightcap when he is visited by the most unlikely visitor, Santa Claus himself. As the struggle begins to come up with a wish to ask of him, the plot develops alongside it.

The approach remains marked by the union of ASMR with an audio narrative to bring the said reality to life. While tying itself with rhymes and poetry, along with humor, and ideas of sinning and atonement thrown in the mix, the story is presented thus. Though it may have suggested festive cheer with its title and establishment, the reality is far from that in the most shocking, albeit entertaining, ways.

The end result follows another riotous adventure of a Peabody family member in a similar vein as the previous 'Dreamlands' instalment by Tom Mason, and takes us deeper into the life of the protagonist with its trademark, unique treatment of the storytelling form.
