Krampus: The Yule Lord by Brom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brom always hits it out of the park. I haven't read any of his horror that wasn't both overflowing with rich lore and mythology approached in fresh and very, very interesting ways. And the stories are overflowing with great characters that always get a full progression, if not revamp.

Krampus is no different. Indeed, I thought it was meant to be a rather jokey, in the spirit of getting a grimdark version of Santa Claus, etc, but we get more than just that. We get SEVERAL revenge stories, an American Gods treatment colliding Norse and Christian faiths, AND an honest-to-Brom REDEMPTION story in the best tradition of everything Xmas. Or rather, YULETIDE.

Muahahahahaha

I love it. All the sad-sacks really got their own by the end. And damn Baldur. I'm rather fond of Krampus now.
