"Krampus: The Devil of Christmas" by Monte Beauchamp

In the early Christmas traditions of Europe, the Krampus was St. Nicholas' dark servant —a hairy, horned, supernatural beast whose pointed ears and long slithering tongue gave misbehavers the creeps! Whereas St. Nicholas would reward children who'd been good all year, those that had behaved badly were visited by the Krampus.

Featuring superior printing, this hardcover edition of Monte Beauchamp's Krampus! The Devil of Christmas includes an introduction, a historical survey of the character, and over 180 lavish pre-World War 1 Krampus postcards. This is a lush, hair-raising collection guaranteed to give even Stephen King the creeps!
