Unholy Night

　　一般人大多知道東方三賢士，透過一顆星星的引導前去祝賀耶穌的降生的故事。但聖經與相關古籍中卻鮮少出現他們的身影。時至今日，當這神秘三人組落在《傲慢與偏見與殭屍》作者賽斯‧葛雷恩-史密斯的手裡時，所有大家所熟悉的歷史傳說都將擦出令人耳目一新的趣味火花！

　　在《Unholy Night》中，東方三士被設定成三個由黑暗勢力控制，而且惡名昭章的小偷。他們從監獄逃跑後，便遇到史上知名的馬槽及馬槽中的新生兒。除了瑪麗、耶穌，還有一些大家熟知的聖經人物，都將與如同亡命之徒的東方三偷展開一段新鮮、刺激又搞笑的冒險旅程。(文/博客來編譯)

　　From the author of the New York Times bestselling Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, comes UNHOLY NIGHT, the next evolution in dark historical revisionism.

　　They’re an iconic part of history’s most celebrated birth. But what do we really know about the Three Kings of the Nativity, besides the fact that they followed a star to Bethlehem bearing strange gifts? The Bible has little to say about this enigmatic trio. But leave it to Seth Grahame-Smith, the brilliant and twisted mind behind Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to take a little mystery, bend a little history, and weave an epic tale.

　　In Grahame-Smith’s telling, the so-called ”Three Wise Men” are infamous thieves, led by the dark, murderous Balthazar. After a daring escape from Herod’s prison, they stumble upon the famous manger and its newborn king. The last thing Balthazar needs is to be slowed down by young Joseph, Mary and their infant. But when Herod’s men begin to slaughter the first born in Judea, he has no choice but to help them escape to Egypt.

　　It’s the beginning of an adventure that will see them fight the last magical creatures of the Old Testament; cross paths with biblical figures like Pontius Pilate and John the Baptist; and finally deliver them to Egypt. It may just be the greatest story never told.
