A review by archaicrobin
The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters, Witches, and Ghosts by Jeff Belanger

funny informative fast-paced

3.0

A concise nonfiction book on the history of different Yuletide monsters and their lore. This book gives a short little snippet of each monster and its lore, but not an exhaustive source. This is perfect if you want to know general stories and lore in regard to these creatures with beautiful illustrations. I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re looking for an in depth analysis but it’s great for those looking to dip their toes into the complex history of Yule.
