This was a fun, fast read for the holidays! I found this while hunting specifically for Krampus-themed books and Brom delivered. Having read the Child Thief, I feel that this fits nicely in his collection of twisted fairy tales. When scanning reviews, I saw that many of the readers complained of unnecessary swearing. While the characters do swear quite a bit, it never felt out of character or over the top. The plot is somewhat surface-level but fun. Krampus is great if you're seeking dark humor during the holidays!
