Description
Christmas is a magical time of year, filled with good cheer. It is also the darkest time of year, the Winter Solstice - the longest night. And the long dark night is filled with creepy, devilish creatures. Best known is the Krampus, a horned half-man, half-goat demon, who has been the subject of films and songs. There are other violent and dangerous monsters from all over northern climes who have been hunting naughty children for centuries.
The Fright Before Christmas delves into the folklore of Krampus and his friends: the elf-like tomten, the goblinesque Karakoncolas, the Belsnickel who is ready to hit us with his switch of sticks, and Gryla, who might drag you back to her mountain lair. And watch out for the Yule Cat ready to pounce! These are just a few of the beasties included. This book examines the folklore roots of Christmas under its many other guises (Yule, the Winter Solstice, Saturnalia) in a different, darker light. Christmas has always been creepy and this book will show you that other side. You better watch out or the Krampus will get you!
