Publisher's Synopsis
In a small Austrian town, Krampus Night turns real.
The yearly celebration of Krampusnacht is one of Bad Gastein's most cherished traditions. Every December, townsfolk dress as the mythical beast, throw parties, and let the town's children know if they've made the monster's naughty list. And, this year, a group of young cyber-bullies has been particularly bad. Someone, or possibly something, has determined they deserve punishment. The youngsters start going missing. A recently turned vampire, who's come to the idyllic and isolated Austrian Alpine town to contemplate her new existence, puts her own dilemmas aside and sets her mind to rescue the kidnapped kids. Her first faceoff with the kidnapper leaves no question that she's outmatched. However, with help from an innovative priest and another, more friendly, otherworldly being, she might just save the young teens and defeat a Christmastime monster. "It is most definitely a very worthy take on the cautionary creature legend, and indeed the best fiction I have read in quite a while. If you like fantasy, horror, YA or simple suspense, you'll love it; if not, you'll just like it a lot!" - Matt McAvoy, author of the critically acclaimed "Granjy's Eyes"
