Santa
Claus, my dear old friend, you are a thief, a traitor, a slanderer, a murder, a
liar, but worst of all you are a mockery of everything for which I stood.

You have sung your last ho, ho, ho, for I am coming to
take your head. I am coming to take back what is mine, to take back Yuletide...


The author
and artist of The Child Thief returns with a modern fabulist tale of
Krampus, the Lord of Yule and mortal enemy of Santa Claus.

One
Christmas Eve in a small hollow in Boone County, West Virginia, struggling
songwriter Jesse Walker witnesses a strange spectacle: seven devilish figures
chasing a man in a red suit toward a sleigh and eight reindeer. When the
reindeer leap skyward taking the sleigh, devil men, and Santa into the clouds,
screams follow. Moments later, a large sack plummets earthward, a magical sack
that will thrust the down-on-his luck singer into the clutches of the
terrifying Yule Lord, Krampus. But the lines between good and evil become
blurred as Jesse's new master reveals many dark secrets about the
cherry-cheeked Santa Claus, and how half a millennium ago, the jolly old saint
imprisoned Krampus and usurped his magic.

Now Santa's
time is running short, for the Yule Lord is determined to have his retribution
and reclaim Yuletide. If Jesse can survive this ancient feud, he might have the
chance to redeem himself to his family, to save his own broken dreams... and
help bring the magic of Yule to the impoverished folk of Boone County.
