This is the second of Brom’s books I’ve read. It was very different to what I was anticipating, after first reading Slewfoot. Most notably, Krampus takes place in the modern day.
I must admit I didn’t particularly enjoy the first half of this book, it didn’t really have the fantastical horror I was hoping for and I didn’t massively engage with the characters, but it picked up towards the end. Overall I would say this has a much lighter tone compared to Slewfoot.
