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 &ndash, on his own or accompanying St. Nicholas, but always carrying a bundle of birch twigs ready to punish those who have misbehaved. , At least, that&rsquo,s 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._,
