How I Learned The Truth About Krampus

Krampus is a horned anthropomorphic figure of legend with a classic half-goat half-demonic appearance. The night of the 5th December is Krampusnacht when this hairy devil appears on the streets - on his own or accompanying St. Nicholas but always carrying a bundle of birch twigs ready to punish those who have misbehaved. At least thats how the folk-festivals that take place across Europe go. The truth may be stranger still. This is a sharp and intelligently written horror story that delves deep into seasonal mythology and folk legend. An atmospheric and chilling tale of the dark side of the winter season.
