   Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   ) Doodlebug34 | Jan 1, 2024 |  The illustrations might be breathtaking, but on a 10-year-old six-inch ereader, it doesn't matter. The characters were kinda fun and I'm sure the author followed the myths and legends that grew into Santa Claus and Krampus. That was the fun part of the book. I loved the melding of all those Eastern and Western European religions/folktales into one messy lump. Brom did an excellent job of spitting them back out into an American rural setting that's already been thumped on the head by the urbanization of work and money. Revenge can be sweet. “Then let us go and be terrible.” I really don't think these are spoilers, but I'm hiding them anyway. Brom tries hard to make Dillard a little rounded, but fails hard. There's just no reason that Linda would be with him. Ever. ) rabbit-stew | Dec 31, 2023 |  ) medwyn1066 | Nov 28, 2023 | *** *** *** *** I enjoyed it. It took me a little to get into the Jesse story, but, overall, I liked him as a character. All of the characters were pretty well-rounded, except the very minor and cameo characters. I liked that even the semi-side characters had depth. The biggest part that was hard for me was Linda's mother. As a mother of a 20- something, I 100% would NEVER encourage my daughter the get involved with a rumored crooked cop who was also rumored to murder his first wife who was ALSO in his 60s. Seriously. That seemed completely unreasonable to me as a plot point, no matter how "well-off" he was, but the whole county is effed up so ( ) rebhering | Nov 12, 2023 |  ) brittaniethekid | Jul 7, 2022 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Terrific. A wild ride....I loved it. It hooked me and I couldn't put it down." --Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy "Brom is that rare breed: a person who is skilled in more than one area of artistic expression. Here's hoping that he will continue to share his dark and often beautiful dreams with us for many years to come." Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of Eragon Acclaimed author and artist Brom raised eyebrows and pulse rates with The Child Thief, his grim, brilliantly audacious, gorgeously illustrated reimagining of the Peter Pan legend. So what does this innovative fantasist do for an encore? He tinkers darkly with the beloved mythology of Santa Claus. Set in Appalachia, Krampus the Yule Lord is a twisted fairytale about a failed West Virginia songwriter who gets ensnared on Christmas Eve in an eternal war between a not-so-saintly Saint Nick and his dark enemy Krampus, aka Black Peter, an ancient trickster demon. Krampus the Yule Lord is Gregory Maguire (Wicked) meets Susanna Clarke (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell) in the realm of Guillermo Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, as Clive Barker (Mr. B. Gone) works his dark sorcery from the shadows. Once again featuring Brom's chillingly beautiful artwork throughout, Krampus the Yule Lord is a feast of wonder straight from the kitchen of Sweeney Todd.
