Krampus and Other Yuletide Tales
Krampus and Other Yuletide Tales | Faina Lorah
8 posts | 4 to read
Some traditions should never be lost, like scaring your children into behaving well and teaching them to trick demons during the cold winter. Introducing Krampus and Other Yuletide Tales, a collection of wonderful macabre folk tales that have been nearly lost forever...until now. Featuring thirteen wintery stories and over sixty hauntingly beautiful illustrations, this book contains the kind of thrilling tales that will bring the family together and keep them up at night. So snuggle up with Snegurochka, the snow maiden who melts away as soon as she finds real love. Cozy up around the fire and read the story of Frau Perchta, a witch who happily slices open the bodies of misbehaving children. Watch your kids' eyes light up as they hear about Father Frost, the original present-giving bearded man who would rather freeze them to death than wastefully put a lump of coal in their stockings for being rude. Krampus is coming to town and everybody is on his naughty list. This is not your grandmother's collection of stories. These belong to her grandmother, the babushka, who knew how to celebrate Yule right: a bountiful feast paired with a little tale of murder.

Received the book from your #KrampusNacht giveaway, @WildAlaskaBibliophile and @TieDyeDude ! Thank you so much! The illustrations are gorgeous. 😍 It fits nicely in with my husband‘s collection of creepy German nutcrackers, too. (There‘s a whole box of them in the basement, too. I only let a few of them out at a time.) 😀

DGRachel I have that book! I also have two of her lenormand decks. Her artwork is stunning. 5d

Our department has a magnetic Scrabble game for the fridge in the kitchen. Every week or so someone starts a new theme. Thought @WildAlaskaBibliophile and @TieDyeDude would appreciate one of my contributions. 😀

Saint Nicholas is celebrated in Europe on December 6, but the evening of December 5 is haunted by Krampus, a fearsome, horned creature who serves as the dark counterpart to Saint Nicholas; scaring naughty children, carrying them away in his sack, or whipping them with birch branches.

These two books by Faina Lorah, one of which is a coloring book that describes Russian folk beasts, were found on Etsy. Both are #signed by the author, Faina Lorah, a Russian woman whose written voice is silky and who illustrates the tales beautifully. I'm looking forward to reading these grandmother's grandmother stories this December to my partner. #Krampus is coming to town.
