Trade Review"The creator of The Child Thief, is back - and this time he's taking on the Christmas Devil. Are you ready for a studly, Nordic Santa Claus, and his scary/sexy wife?" -- Charlie Jane Anders, io9.com "Brom is that rare breed: a person who is skilled in more than one area of artistic expression. Here's hoping that he will continue to share his dark and often beautiful dreams with us for many years to come." -- Christopher Paolini, bestelling author of Eragon on KRAMPUS "This illustrated horror novel by acclaimed gothic fantasy artist, illustrator, and novelist Brom (The Child Thief) is perfect for anyone who disdains a cozy, sentimental holiday story." -- Library Journal "Terrific. A wild ride--the idea sounded like a stretch and I'm not sure how many guys could have really pulled it off, but Brom sure has. I loved it. It hooked me and I couldn't put it down. Plus, the illustrations are amazing." -- Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy on KRAMPUS "Filled with action, fans will wonder whether Jesse joined the wrong side as increasingly it appears to him that Santa is evil. Fans will relish the Yule Lord 'is coming to town.'" -- SFRevu on KRAMPUS "[A] rollicking, non-stop, action-filled, violent and yet touching story." -- Examiner.com on KRAMPUS
