From Little Stack
Want to hear the tale of how Santa Clause stole Christmas? The Yule Lord, Krampus, wants to tell you. It began when Santa imprisoned Krampus half a millennia ago. But on Christmas Eve, just over in Boone County, Virginia, Krampus escapes. Struggling songwriter Jesse finds himself in the middle of this ancient feud, and if he can figure out how to survive, he might not just redeem himself, but save the magic of the season for good.
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 earthward, a magical sack that will thrust 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, and 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 to his family, to save his own broken dreams...and help bring the magic of Yule to the impoverished folk of Boone County.
