William S. Burroughs spent his career writing about bizarre and disturbing things. His books "Junky" and "Naked Lunch" both dealt with drug usage. "The Junky's Christmas" is a short story about a man trying to get money for his next dosage of heroin. The mixture of Christmas songs and hip hop - with Burroughs narrating - adds to the surreal feeling. I haven't read Burroughs's original work, so I can only say that this is one weird short (of course, weird stuff was Burroughs's forte). OK, if only once.
