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, that?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.
