Set in Appalachia, Krampus the Yule Lord is a twisted fairytale about a failed West Virginia songwriter who gets ensnared on Christmas Eve in an eternal war between a not-so-saintly Saint Nick and his dark enemy Krampus, aka Black Peter, an ancient trickster demon. Krampus the Yule Lord is Gregory Maguire (Wicked) meets Susanna Clarke (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell) in the realm of Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, as Clive Barker (Mr. B. Gone) works his dark sorcery from the shadows. Once again featuring Brom’s chillingly beautiful artwork throughout, Krampus the Yule Lord is a feast of wonder straight from the kitchen of Sweeney Todd.
My Thoughts:
Krampus: The Yule Lord by BromMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This to me read as a folklore between Santa Clause and Krampus a demon. Santa Clause is not as nice as we know him to be and Krampus is out to destroy him and make people see him as the nice guy and to believe in Yule Tides. Very dark story and full of murder, drugs, lots of bad people. The main character Jesse has lot his wife and child to a bad cop, who Jesse wants to get his family away from.
