COMPLETE COVERAGE OF POP CULTURE CONVENTION ENTERTAINMENT AROUND THE WORLD!
Al Ridenour is back with his new book, A Season of Madness, Fools, Monsters, and Marvels of the Old World Carnival, which explores customs and celebrations that will appeal to any reader interested in the Krampus and old, world traditions and monsters.
Before Krampus injected some needed chills into traditional yuletide proceedings, the original dark spirit of Christmas was Frau Perchta.
Al Ridenour’s new book The Krampus and the Old Dark Christmas: Roots and Rebirth of the Folkloric Devil (Feral House) fully captures the culturally accurate story of Krampus, as well as some of his fore bearers in the dark corners of the winter holiday.
