About the book

The Krampus, a folkloric devil associated with St Nicholas in Alpine Austria and Germany, has been embraced by the counterculture and is lately skewing mainstream. The new Christmas he seems to embody is ironically closer to an ancient understanding of the holiday as a perilous, haunted season. In the Krampus' world, witches rule Christmas and saints can sometimes kill. As mainstream interest in Krampus is on the rise, this book is a brilliant, heavily-illustrated primer on this medieval, devil-like character.
