The Dead of Winter: Beware the Krampus and Other Wicked Christmas Creatures by Sarah Clegg

dark informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

A lovely little read about the darker traditions and lore surrounding Christmas. Really nicely balanced a clear sighted and unromanticised look at the origins of the traditions with an obvious delight in the creepy, chaotic and sometimes macarbre traditions. I also appreciated the straightforward acknowledgements of the more unpleasant sources or co-opting of traditions, as well.
