The editor of the critically-praised anthology Blab presents this handsome collection. Compact yet seductively wicked, this is the perfect holiday gift book for good, and especially bad children and grown-ups! A full-color compendium of late 19th- and early 20th-century Krampus postcards (as seen excerpted in Blab Vols. 11 & 12), lavishly illustrated with over 150 striking and stylized full-page examples. The book also includes a short introduction tracing the character's origin and its overwhelming popularity throughout Europe, where the Krampus is Saint Nicholas's dark servant — a hairy, horned, supernatural beast whose long, slithering tongue gave misbehavers the creeps! This is the first English-language book of its kind, culled from the rarest and most visually stunning Krampus cards in history.
