The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters by Jeff Belanger.

Jeff Belanger's Newest Book

The Fright Before Christmas

"I got this from my family for Christmas. We are big-time Halloween people and like all things spooky and scary, so this was right up my alley. Beautiful book - covers all the myths of the season, from start to finish. Saturnalia, Krampus, the Yule Cat, Belsnickel, Marley's Ghost - they're all here and more. Along with great narration and pictures and a very thorough searching & explanation for all things Winter, Solstice, etc. Great gift for anyone who enjoys looking at the darker side of things in order to see the light that comes after."
