Krampus: The Yule Lord by Brom Publisher: Harper Voyager Page Count: 357 Fiction Genre: Fantasy, Mythology, Horror, Supernatural Dates Read: October 4-9, 2015 Summary Santa Clause isn't who we think he is. After spending centuries locked in a cave, the old lord, Krampus is ready to make his move. Now that he has his handy sack back, he can find the tools he needs to unlock the chains that have imprisoned him. With the help of his minions and a mortal named Jesss, Krampus is ready to make his revenge against Santa Clause a reality. Review *fan girls so hard* AMAZING! A beautiful story of old gods hanging on to mankind's faith. This reminded me a lot of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, had Gaiman focused on just one deity, instead of a larger number of them. Wonderfully written with great and beautiful illustrations. I loved that Brom made this story equally about Krampus and the gods, as well as focused on Jesse and his life. A man who has always been a fuck-up is now seeking redemption to make up with her wife and bring joy to his young daughter. Brom has brought Yuletide back to life.
