Better watch out! Something delightfully dreadful lurks in the shadows cast by holiday lights.
From Alpine Austrian and German folklore, Krampusnacht (Krampus Night) is when the Krampus—a horned and hooved Yuletide beast—clomps door-to-door to carry away naughty children in his basket. In this beautifully illustrated ode to old European holiday tradition, a little boy named Felix awaits a visit from the Krampus and a festively frightful cast of characters from folklore, including the Yule Cat, Marley’s Ghost, Mari Lwyd, and Frau Perchta. The back of the book Includes a glossary of winter folklore characters.
Tonight Is Krampus Night! is written by Kyle Sullivan (author of Hazel and the Spooky Season, Krampus Confidential, and Goodnight Krampus) and illustrated by Zoe Persico (illustrator of Krampus Baby! and Mothman Baby!, and author/illustrator of How to Talk to Your Succulent).
