MARLEY By Jon Clinch "A Christmas Carol," despite the multitudinous saccharine versions souped up on stage and screen every festive season, is a pretty damn scary thing, but Jon Clinch's prequel to it is black as hell, outstripping even Dickens's remorseless and painful probings of his protagonist's soul.
