Krampus: Shadow of Saint Nicholas by Michael Dougherty
3.0
The blurb on the back describes what this is about perfectly. Three tales, involving Krampus;
"At the most wonderful time of the year, a drunken mall Santa comes under siege from some very mischievous Christmas spirits, a dysfunctional cop becomes trapped with the man who ruined his life and the wealthy town “scrooge” must face the shadows from his past as his home comes under invasion from the homeless. This Christmas, Krampus will make sure they all get what they deserve."
Reminds me of good old EC Horror type comic stories, updated with more modern artwork. I'm not sure these tales really give the reader ANY idea of what the myth of Krampus is about, but if you like horror and want (I can't believe this is almost a sub-genre) Christmas-themed horror for your holidays, this is the book to get.
