“Terrific. A outrageous ride….I loved it. It connected me and I couldn’t place it down.”

-Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy

‘Brom is that uncommon breed: someone who is competent in more than one part of artistic expression. Here’s hoping that he’ll continue to talk about his dark and often beautiful dreams around for quite some time to come.’ Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling writer of Eragon

Acclaimed author and artist Brom raised eyebrows and pulse prices with THE KID Thief, his grim, brilliantly about Krampus audacious, gorgeously illustrated reimagining of the Peter Pan legend. So what will this innovative fantasist do for an encore? He tinkers darkly with the precious mythology of Santa Claus. Set in Appalachia, Krampus the Yule Lord is certainly a twisted fairytale about a failed Western world Virginia songwriter who gets ensnared on Christmas Eve within an eternal war between a not-so-saintly Saint Nick and his dark enemy Krampus, aka Dark Peter, an ancient trickster demon. Krampus the Yule Lord is usually Gregory Maguire (Wicked) matches Susanna Clarke (Jonathan Unusual & Mr. Norrell) in the world of Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, as Clive Barker (Mr. B. Removed) works his dark sorcery through the shadows. Once more offering Brom’s chillingly beautiful artwork throughout, Krampus the Yule Lord is definitely a feast of wonder straight from your kitchen of Sweeney Todd.
