DescriptionFor bad children, a lump of coal from Santa is positively light punishment when Krampus is ready and waiting to beat them with a stick, wrap them in chains, and drag them down to hell—all with St. Nick's encouragement and approval.
Krampusnacht holds within its pages twelve tales of Krampus triumphant, usurped, befriended, and much more. From evil children (and adults) who get their due, to those who pull one over on the ancient "Christmas Devil." From historic Europe, to the North Pole, to present day American suburbia, these all new stories embark on a revitalization of the Krampus tradition. Whether you choose to read Krampusnacht over twelve dark and scary nights or devour it in one nacht of joy and terror, these stories are sure to add chills and magic to any winter's reading.

Praise“A kaleidoscope of Krampus tales featuring enjoyable twists and turns. Imaginative and entertaining.”
— Monte Beauchamp, Krampus: The Devil of Christmas "From funny to pure terror. The writers also tell us their inspiration for each story which helps put us in the right frame of mind. I really enjoyed all these tales, and it was a great introduction to Krampus for me. I like that he is about justice, not just doing harm for the sake of evil. What makes it even better is that he has Santa’s blessing. This is a must-read for the upcoming holiday season." — Bitten By Books 4 Stars "Krampus is a scary, woody, complicated, and mythical malicious presence we need more of...especially in a time of year when the nights are long, dark, and cold. This anthology asks and answers where Krampus came from, who would be his wife, and who makes his gear, while also questioning the true nature of evil. Well worth a look!" — Tangent "Krampusnacht cuts through the cloying sweetness of typical Christmas stories to reveal their dark chewy centre. Twelve stories with twelve takes on Santa's less savoury companion, this collection is sure to become a new holiday tradition." — Rhonda Parrish, editor of FAE “Twelve enthralling tales that turn the lights out on Christmas, and dance with folklore in the dark.” — Kristina Wojtaszek, author of Opal "I LOVED this book." — Gal in the Blue Mask
