Mein erstes Weihnachtsbuch

Heute habe ich die letzten zwei Geschichten aus Tatort Prater ausgelesen. Wie üblich haben mir diese Wiener Krimis sehr gefallen, es war nur eine Geschichte dabei, die mich überhaupt nicht faszinieren konnte. Der Rest war wie immer sehr wienerisch und auch zum Schmunzeln.

 

Heute habe ich dann mit einem interessanten Buch gegriffen. Da ich auch diese Woche nicht sehr viel zum Lesen kommen werde, habe ich schon heute damit begonnen, wenn es eigentlich ein Buch für den 5. Dezember gewesen wäre.

 

Mein Neues:

Gerald BROM
Krampus

The Yule Lord

Product Description: Santa Claus, my dear old friend, you are a thief, a traitor, a slanderer, a murderer, a liar, but worst of all you are a mockery of everything for which I stood. You have sung your last ho, ho, ho, for I am coming for your head. . . . I am coming to take back what is mine, to take back Yuletide . . . (from Krampus)

 

The author and artist of The Child Thief returns with a modern fabulist tale of Krampus, the Lord of Yule and the dark enemy of Santa Claus

 

One Christmas Eve in a small hollow in Boone County, West Virginia, struggling songwriter Jesse Walker witnesses a strange spectacle: seven devilish figures chasing a man in a red suit toward a sleigh and eight reindeer. When the reindeer leap skyward, taking the sleigh, devil men, and Santa into the clouds, screams follow. Moments later, a large sack plummets back to earth, a magical sack that thrusts the down-on-his-luck singer into the clutches of the terrifying Yule Lord, Krampus. But the lines between good and evil become blurred as Jesse's new master reveals many dark secrets about the cherry-cheeked Santa Claus, including how half a millennium ago the jolly old saint imprisoned Krampus and usurped his magic.

Now Santa's time is running short, for the Yule Lord is determined to have his retribution and reclaim Yuletide. If Jesse can survive this ancient feud, he might have the chance to redeem himself in his family's eyes, to save his own broken dreams, . . . and to help bring the magic of Yule to the impoverished folk of Boone County.
