Gothic Blue Book VI: A Krampus Carol resurrects the chilling tradition of the Gothic Blue Books -- short works of dark fiction popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Presented by Burial Day Books, this haunting anthology gathers together short stories and poems that explore the sinister folklore of Christmas, Yule, and winter's longest nights. At its heart lurks Krampus -- Santa Claus's shadow, the punisher of the wicked, and a timeless symbol of holiday dread.

This collection blends Gothic atmosphere with terrifying modern horror, offering readers bone-chilling tales of folklore, myth, and yuletide terror. Perfect for fans of holiday horror anthologies, Gothic ghost stories, and folklore-inspired fiction.
