Sensual. Stylish. Sinister.
Spend A Night With Manhattan’s Queerest Gangster.
Nicholas Fife, otherwise known as ‘Slick Nick, ‘ is all about fairness. That’s why he gives the clubs owners that are under his control until Christmas Eve to pay him his percentages.
But the night before Christmas? Accounts must be paid. In full.
Just like that other Saint Nick, Fife flies around New York City in his motorized sleigh going from club to club, checking off names on his ‘naughty list.’ Only instead of leaving presents, he leaves with them. Accompanied by his trusty assistant, the whimsical Wim, Fife visits a speak only to find it’s been robbed by three Santas. Determined to get what’s rightfully his, Fife spends the night before Christmas flying from speakeasies to respectable businesses to building fire escapes.
A holiday tale unlike any other, The Naughty List is a Hidden Gotham short story for the naughty and the nice alike.
