DescriptionKrampus is the cloven-hoofed, curly-horned, and long-tongued dark companion of St. Nick. Sometimes a hero, sometimes a villain, within these pages, he’s always more than just a sidekick. You’ll meet manifestations of Santa’s dark servant as he goes toe-to-toe with a bratty Cinderella, a guitar-slinging girl hero, a coffee shop-owning hipster, and sometimes even St. Nick himself. Whether you want a dash of horror or a hint of joy and redemption, these 12 new tales of Krampus will help you gear up for the most “wonderful” time of the year.
Featuring original stories by Steven Grimm, Lissa Marie Redmond, Beth Mann, Anya J. Davis, E.J. Hagadorn, S.E. Foley, Brad P. Christy, Ross Baxter, Nancy Brewka-Clark, Tamsin Showbrook, E.M. Eastick, and Jude Tulli. Contents“Villainess Ascending” by Steven Grimm

Praise"The Krampus creeps, toboggans, and shapeshifts though Kate Wolford’s second anthology in his honour. Whether as a gibbering devil or a frazzled father, a contract-enslaved demigod or a Florida retiree, a force of nature or a self-help guru, Santa’s evil twin finally manages to flog his way into the twenty-first century. Sly, sardonic, chilling, sexy, gender-bending, subversive, and always wicked good fun, He Sees You When He’s Creepin’ presents a cracking good bundle of tales from the spookier side of Christmas."
--John Patrick Pazdziora, editor of Unsettling Wonder "These stories were well chosen, and this anthology is perfect for those of you that like Nightmare Before Christmas and other Halloween/Christmas crosses. This one is worth checking out if you like unique and interesting stories." --Hollie Ohs Book Reviews "You may come for the Krampus, but you’ll stay for the laughs." --Tangent Online "If you like your speculative fiction strange and sassy with a generous dose of scary tossed in for good measure, have a look at...He Sees You When He's Creepin': Tales of Krampus." --Book Club Babble "While some of these stories might be a little more dark or cynical than typical holiday fare (which might be a perk for some people tired of extra cheesy Christmas entertainment), not only are they thought provoking, but they retain a sense of the wonder and magic of Christmas." --Tales of Faerie |
