Scary Christmas
Norwegian title: Skrekkelig jul
December has not been merely about jolly old men, angels, peace on earth and festive celebration. Before the 1800s christmas could be terrifying. Midwinter was a time for ghosts and goblins, witches and devils. Frightful creatures of all sorts would appear.
Scary Christmas brings to light the stories of the creepy Christmas characters. Tales about sneaky Perchta, the mysterious Christmas Goat, Grýla the gruesome troll and monstrous Krampus.
We promise you: Christmas will never be the same once you’ve read this book.
