I read some online short stories by a male author a few years ago, but the website has disappeared since then.
The first was a twist on the Santa Claus myth, in which St. Nick is portrayed as a vampiric figure. The main character and his companion try to hunt Santa Claus and stake him; the companion is bitten, though, and begins to grow a beard, get fat, etc. and the main character is forced to kill him.
I think the other one was called "Patches" or "Stitches" or something like that, and it was about a hospital patient who kept losing body parts, until he was eventually just a head.
And the final story depicted an imaginary, childish dream world made of candy and gumdrops, and cloying things like that. This world was slowly fusing with the real world, and eventually became bombed with real nuclear bombs.
The same person wrote all three stories (I think), so if anyone knows who he is, or where to find the stories, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
