4 1/2 stars but I'm going to do something I rarely do and bump it up because this book was such a joy to read.

This is a beautifully curated collection of winter horrors. It’s called A Krampus Carol but only a few of the stories featured that gorgeous horned beast, and that worked for me because I fear a collection consisting solely of Krampus tales might’ve been a wee bit too much Krampus - even for me! Instead, we get a nice mix of gorgeous dark poetry, folklorish creatures, and tales that shou ...more

That's a description that really caught my eye, so when I was offered an ARC, I jumped on the chance and here we are. This anthology has something for everyone, but the connecting thread is Krampus. Who knew these authors could come up with such a variety of stories around this theme? Following are just a few that stood ...more

But seriously, do you like Christmas horror? If so, you should love it. Hate Christmas themed horror? you probably won't dig it. I am somewhere in the middle. I don't hate Krampus stories, but I am not necessarily in love with them either. What I did really like about this book was that it boasts 30 + different pieces. 30 + different writers. Brief Christmas creep-out tales to settle in next to the tree and read at your leisure. That's what I did, yeah, yeah, I know Christmas is over and here I am reviewing a Christmas book 2 weeks late. It's how I do things.

I will admit that some of the stories started to run together for me. Some of the Krampus variations started to blur. It really didn't matter at the time though, I didn't have any other Holiday horror on hand and I just kind of let myself enjoy this one and wasn't too critical. ( I know, I know, BAH humbug )

Lot's of highlights in this anthology, I will try to list a few of the ones I liked best.

A Creature Was Stirring - Samson Stormcrow Hayes - The milk on page 64. Gag.
Black Lace Binding - The Wonderful Laurel Hightower - a girl and her secret special book, especially, the 2nd and third paragraph on page 70.
Letters To Krampus - Matt Jean - Griffin wants Krampus to punish his destructive brother. The letter part on P. 81
A Very Good Actress - Sarah Michelson - The comforting dark on page 99.
All Quiet On The Northern Front - Kara Race Moore - The conversation about the Christmas truce party on page 142.
My absolute favorite story was
Here We Come A-Caroling - Angela Sylvaine - It's the final story in the book, and after a bunch of Krampus stories, I found it really original and refreshing. No music, no singing. No carols. If you do a ghostly band of carolers will show up at your doorstep and abduct, adopt you into their troupe. The ending of this one, the final line, the remaining silent night rang of perfection.

Something for everyone on this amazing collection of stories by some of the most popular authors in horror today! Not every story has Krampus or even take place on Christmas so don’t let the tile of the book mislead you. Monsters, supernatural and demons afoot every story or poem is a new adventure. Some dark, some funny (well humor, as horror stories go) some will bring you to tears. Highly recommended!

A mix of truly excellent stories and poems. I do have a soft spot for poetry and those chosen really helped break up the book. I loved the stark rawness of Shane Douglas Keene's 'I am a Fortress', the prose poetry of Cindy O'Quinn's vengeful tale of 'When She Visits' and the heartbreak of 'All Through the House' by Amanda Cecilia Lang.

I received A Krampus Carol: Gothic Blue Book VI in exchange for a fair review.
I was so excited to read this collection, as the winter season often comes with its own lore and traditions. Many of the tales in this work surround the figure of Krampus, while others pull on the emotions of the Christmas season, as well as pagan rituals surrounding Yule. There are 31 stories, one for every day of December. This is a collection that is best read at night, by your tree or a fire, with some hot cocoa.

There are 31 stories, one for every day of December. This is a collection that is best read at night, by your tree or a fire, with some hot cocoa. Just make sure the windows are closed, you don’t want Krampus sneaking in from the cold. I will talk about my favorite stories here.

The Night of Epiphany by Nico Bell
A girl and her father are celebrating Epiphany in the Austrian countryside. When the girl is frustrated with carrying on her late mother’s traditions, she meets the mysterious Frau Perchta, and learns the consequence of breaking tradition. I loved the winter atmosphere in this story. I have often dreamt of spending a wintry night in a cabin in the countryside, a festival occurring in the local town, the tree lit up in the corner, and a fire and feast waiting in the next room. However, I am not in the business of getting in trouble with Frau Perchta. The atmosphere was amazingly written in this story , and it is a reminder to always keep your family traditions, no matter how ancient they are.

When the Leaves Go by Die Booth
A young man is not looking forward to seeing his family this Christmas, but sets out to find a gift for a homophobic cousin he could care less about anyway. He happens upon a strange shop, with an odd person and unique gifts. Maybe Christmas won’t turn out so bad this year. This is a relatable story for many people who are fed up with family bigots, and a unique tale by Booth.

Sugarplum by Kevin M. Folliard
A man on business in England is stalling his trip home, almost hoping his flight gets cancelled. He is unhappy in his marriage, untruthful, and seems like all around a shitty person. He stops in a bar for a drink, where the bar owner offers him a special drink, slightly purple in hue, called Sugarplum. Soon he begins spilling the truth, and he finds he may get his wish, he might not be going home after all. I loved the setting of this. I always imagine there are people out there, alone at a bar getting drunk on Christmas Eve, bitching about the ones that love them, cursing the world. The catch here was that this bar was waiting for just that person. A truly delicious and sweet tale.

A Creature was Stirring by Samson Stormcrow Hayes
The next tale that really stuck with me was the one directly after. This collection would not be complete without a mischievous child wanting to get a glimpse of Santa. When he sneaks downstairs, and opens a box of Krampus Krunch, he knows something is off. A cautionary tale for those looking to stay up and wait for Santa. Truly enjoyed this take on some classic Krampus. It is a strong staple in the collection.

Letters to Krampus by Matt Jean
A naughty child thinks he is pulling one over on Santa this year, little does he know Krampus has other plans in store. I’m loving all of these Krampus tales, each different from the other, but all of them so enjoyable. In this story two brothers are trying to hide from Krampus, and just when you think the oldest brother couldn’t be much naughtier, he takes it up one more notch. Matt Jean gave a nice twist in the end of this tale.

A Very Good Actress by Sarah Michelson
An aspiring actress takes a job for the holiday as a nanny. The family she is working for is spending time at their beach house. She vows to give her all in this role as “nanny”. Eventually she beings to lose herself, but will she fully let herself go? Although this wasn’t a specifically Christmas themed tale, it takes place during the bleak winter season, and I really enjoyed that. Many times during the winter those gray days can be tough, but what happens when the darkness calls to you? Loved this tale. I felt like I was there at this wintry ocean. A perfect, moody story.

Christmas Eve by K.R. Smith
A woman and her child are journeying through the cold to reach the warmth of a nunnery. Along the way she is tempted by Krampus to give up her child. I enjoyed this tale of strength and love, mixed along with of course, horror!

All of the writers of this collection worked very hard to create these amazing stories. Cynthia and Gerardo Pelayo, the owners of Burial Day, also curated an excellent collection, and I am looking forward to reading much more from Burial Day! ...more

This collections of stories are inspired by the stories that were often seen in the 18th and 19th centuries.
You can definitely tell that the gothic genre is very prevalent throughout. I mean its even in the name of the book, so expect to feel that gothic horror vibe.
There are 31 stories and poems inside this collection, all dealing with Christmas and the winter months as a whole. Some involve witches, vampires, otherworldly beings, demons, and of course the main demon of the season Krampus.
Krampus is a horned, half demon half goat, who punishes bad children during Christmas time. He’s basically the anti Santa, Santa rewards the good kids with presents and Krampus punishes the bad ones.
Some of my favorite stories of the bunch were: The Night of Epiphany, Black Lace Binding, Letters to Krampus, A Desk Fit for a Purpose, The Last Noel, The Dark- Eyed Boy, and Here We Come A-Caroling.

This is my first Christmas themed horror book I’ve ever read and I’m so disappointed that I haven’t been reading them every year.
This is such a fun collection of stories and poems. I liked every single story I read in this book and I was so sad to see the end. It felt like Christmas every time I got to start a new story because each story felt like a wonderful present. I wasn’t sure what I was going to get, but I always ended up satisfied.
For having 31 different writings all under 200 pages is crazy! I actually didn’t know how many stories/ poems were in there, but I didn’t feel like it dragged on or felt like too much.
In fact, most of the stories were really short and just got straight to the point. It was actually a really nice pace and it didn’t feel rushed or felt like it was dragging.
I was also surprised with so many different authors how well the stories flowed together and seemed really cohesive.
You could tell that they each had a different voice and writing style, but it worked well and didn’t feel all over the place or disjointed.
The stories that featured Krampus were definitely the most fun, just because I’m really fascinated with Krampus and I haven’t read much involving the Christmas demon.
I feel like I’m always surprised with gothic horror, since I don’t read too much of it, I kinda forget about it. But I need to make it a habit of picking up more books featuring it because I always end up enjoying the plots.
I’m thinking I need to check out every one of the Gothic Blue Books because I enjoyed this so much and I feel like I just need more.

I first picked this up because when I put out a call for Christmas Books of all genres, CL Raven mentioned that they were in this book.

The book contains 31 stories, and a section about each author at the end of the book. Now, usually when I read a collection, there will be stories that just don’t hit me right and stories that aren’t to my taste, so it’s easy enough to weedle them down to just a few to talk about on my review. On this occasion however, I hit a stumbling block. There are no stories in this book that I didn’t like, they’re all written very well and each has it’s own charm. So, after a few days I’d managed to weedle my favourites down to 18 stories, which I suspect you would agree that is still a lot of stories to talk about on a review!

I have now, finally, chosen a handful of titles to mention to you today, I do heartily recommend taking a look at this book yourself however because it really is a great book and the stories are wonderful. There are some things in this book which I’d never heard mention of before but which seem like such a great way to look at a situation. Funnily enough I actually read two stories by two different authors which had a similar idea (one in this book, and one on the Sinister Advent Calendar, which I’ve covered daily through December) but they were still very different stories and that leads me to the first story I’ll tell you about;

Secret Santa by Gary E Lee is a tale of caution, everyone knows you’re not allowed to stay up and see Santa Claus, but nobody really knows why. This tale will show you the dangers of seeing that which you should never see. I usually try to say as little as possible about short stories for fear of spoiling them, but I figure there are enough stories in this book that I’m not talking about, to allow the reader to have plenty of surprise. Plus this isn’t going to tell you the whole story and you still need to read it in order to find out why what happens, happens and what it means. So I figure I’m safe here. The thing I liked about this story is that the child who remains awake and tries to steal a glance at Santa Claus is left marked, there was something about that that I really liked, and the imagery in this story works really well too.

The other thing I really like about this book is that it includes legends and traditions which I hadn’t really heard of before. Being from England and not really having any outside influences of that, my parents lived in Germany for a time but as British soldiers they lived on an army base so it wasn’t really a case of living in the German Traditions, and aside from that I had no influences in my life to teach me other traditions really. So reading The Night of Epiphany by Nico Bell was a really nice way to meet with a new name I hadn’t heard, this story centres around a being called Frau Perchta, having looked this up, according to Jacob Grimm (1882), Perchta was a white robed goddess who oversaw spinning and weaving, like the myths of Holda. He believed she was the feminine equivalent of Berchtold, and sometimes led the wild hunt. In Bell’s story, the character Anna is fed up of carrying out the tradition of the Night of Epiphany and wants to move on with her life, away from superstition and what she thinks is silly traditions. There is caution in this tale readers, for some traditions are there for a reason.

Following on from what I just said about traditions and legends of other culture, there is one closer to home in the story Hell’s Bells by CL Raven. CL Raven are a pair of welsh horror writing twins who specialise in gothic horror. Their stories are always fabulous and something I liked about this one is that I learned something. A huge part of reading, even if you’re reading fiction, is to learn. In this story, I learned about Mari Lwyd. As it turns out, Mari Lwyd is a wassailing folk custom found in South Wales and usually entails the use of an eponymous hobby horse, made by attaching a horse’s skull to a stick and is carried by a person hidden by a white sheet. This custom was first recorded in 1800, with subsequent accounts of it being produced in the early twentieth century. I won’t tell you any more about the tradition because it is explained in the story, but I would encourage you to look it up afterwards because it’s very interesting. CL Raven do not disappoint in their execution of this story, the imagery is very good and the story plays out smoothly. Obviously, as an English person with absolutely no idea of how to pronounce anything welsh, I absolutely murder all of the names, but luckily, I’m not reading this aloud to any audiences!

Black Lace Binding by Laurel Hightower is a brilliant little story which I very much enjoyed where a girl finds a very special kind of book in the library. Within the pages she finds a friend, as I’m sure many of us readers will have stated from time to time, but this is in a very different way. A fantastic story presented very nicely and with few characters, I really enjoyed this one. While the concept seems simple, due to less characters being involved, I can only imagine it’s entirely the opposite of simple when it comes to sitting down to write it. The thing with less characters, is that you can’t rely on dialogue to carry your story and you have to make it interested and atmospheric. I think those things were achieved here.

When the Leaves Go by Die Booth follows more of a fantasy vibe (I know, in regards to a book about Santa, Krampus and other Christmas Demons I just said fantasy like it was going to be a surprise, but read it, you’ll see what I mean) we’ve all been there, Christmas is a time for family, which often means spending that special day with people you can’t stand and don’t even speak to for most of the year, and before anybody I’m related to pipes up, I’m not saying mine were like that! But this Character’s are, and he finds a shop where he collects an item to give to his cousin. That’s about as much as I can tell you without spoiling it for you, but the item isn’t necessarily the most innocent of trinkets, shall we say?

Yule Log by TM Brown covers the subject of plague & sickness at Christmas. I enjoyed the imagery of this story and all of the things which happen. The description is fantastic, and it is oddly festive considering the sombre tone.

All Quiet on the Northern Front by Kara Race-Moore was a brilliant story, this one is set during war time and the ending packs a punch that really hits home. I especially liked this one, because I’ve recently played a game on steam, and finished it a few times, set in the same place as this story. So the imagery of this story along with the memory of the artwork in that game really tied into one another nicely. It’s not very often you’ll see someone go there with a war story in a Christmas anthology but it was refreshing to see. It shouldn’t be something we skirt around and avoid talking about, it happened, it’s part of our history and it should be included. Particularly in this kind of book. It just fits.

Interestingly enough, one which I wasn’t expecting to like really turned around. Krampus by Austrian Spencer actually started off with such a different tone to the rest of the stories, and language which I hadn’t been expecting after the others that my initial reaction was that I wouldn’t like it, but actually, it is a good story. Although this may be surprising, I hadn’t really seen or read that much about Krampus, so this year is the most I’ve ever really heard about him. I really enjoyed this one because it’s different to the other stories I’ve watched or read this year.

If a story hasn’t been mentioned here, it isn’t that I didn’t enjoy it, I very much enjoyed every story in this book and actually some of the stories I didn’t mention, that’s just because they’re not as easy to talk about as these ones are. Sometimes it’s difficult to talk about a story without saying too much. ...more

But…I’m still me, and I still love my horror, so I needed to find a nice balance between the spooky and the cheesy. Enter: A Krampus Carol.

A Krampus Carol is an anthology featuring lots of deliciously dark holiday themed horror. Of course, many of the stories feature the titular baddie, Krampus, but the stories span several different cultures and traditions. You’ve got Mari Lwyd, vampires, the Yule Cat…there’s a lot of variety to the horror in these stories, which I appreciated.

Of course, being an anthology, there were some very strong entries and some that were a little more “meh.” There weren’t really any out and out bad stories in the collection, but unfortunately the majority of them did fall closer to the meh category for me. Sadly, a lot of the stories featuring Krampus fell into that zone – while they were decently written, many of them followed the same generic “bad kid gets punished” narrative with not much meat on the bone. There were a couple notable exceptions though, namely “The Boy Who Tricked Krampus” by Malina Douglas and “The Dark-Eyed Boy” by M.C. St. John. Both of these stories still used the general Krampus myth, but I felt like they added a more unique spin to it. St. John’s story in particular was one of my favourites in the collection; I appreciated the blend of the traditional German myth with some modern, almost fairy tale-esque elements.

Some of the other standouts in the collection were “When the Leaves Go” by Die Booth, which features a dark sort of whimsy that really worked for me; “Yule Log” by T.M. Brown, which felt a little bit like A Christmas Carol, but make it plaguey; “Black Lace Binding” by Laurel Hightower, a wonderfully gothic entry into the collection; and “Hell’s Bells” by C.L. Raven, a very dark spin on the Welsh legend of Mari Lwyd.

While the collection isn’t without its flaws and could have maybe used a last round of proofreading before going out into the world, I did enjoy my time with A Krampus Carol. There’s quite a range of horror contained within these pages, and I think most readers will find something that appeals within these pages. As far as general anthologies go, this isn’t my absolute favourite, but I did like it and it was a fun, festive horror read. ...more

I've never reviewed an anthology collection before, so when Burial Day Books reached out for a review, I was happy to accept!

This is definitely an anthology for those who are already semi-versed in some of the darker folk tales surrounding Christmas. Obviously the themes of Krampus snatching children will be easy to pick up, but there are also other yuletide goblins that the casual reader may not be aware of. I felt the confusion most keenly reading the poems about the different creatures. But ...more

Overall, I thought this was a great collection of stories (I wasn't as into the few poems that appear). Having just finished "The Twelve Frights of Christmas" which isn't a very good holiday anthology at all, this was an absolute delight.

Capturing the atmosphere and the traditional feeling of the story of Krampus, a northern European myth and legend, is no easy feat and yet A Krampus Carol manages it time and time again.

A Krampus Carol includes much more than stories & poems about Krampus. There’s The Gothic Blue Book tradition of folklore, cemeteries, and the addition of castles, nuns, winter, and the solstice. This book covers all of those bases, and does a great job! Highly recommend! Happy reading!
