Better watch out! Something delightfully dreadful lurks in the shadows cast by holiday lights.
 

From Alpine Austrian and German folklore, Krampusnacht (Krampus Night) is when the Krampus—a horned and hooved Yuletide beast—clomps door-to-door to carry away naughty children in his basket. In this beautifully illustrated ode to old European holiday tradition, a little boy named Felix awaits a visit from the Krampus and a festively frightful cast of characters from folklore, including the Yule Cat, Marley’s Ghost, Mari Lwyd, and Frau Perchta. The back of the book Includes a glossary of winter folklore characters. 

Tonight Is Krampus Night! is written by Kyle Sullivan (author of Hazel and the Spooky Season, Krampus Confidential, and Goodnight Krampus) and illustrated by Zoe Persico (illustrator of Krampus Baby! and Mothman Baby!, and author/illustrator of How to Talk to Your Succulent).

[Werewolf? There Wolf!]:

★ 2023 Independent Publisher Book Award Winner (Best Picture Book)

“Fantastically hilarious.”
—School Library Journal

“A fresh twist on a beloved fable…It gets wilder and weirder as the story goes on. With its tongue-twisting-tall-tale-ness, it’s a MUST read-aloud book.”
—Illustoria Magazine

Sullivan’s clever concept effectively flips the script on the classic tale. The memorable twist is up to par with the one in Mo Willems’ That Is Not a Good Idea…Meg Hunt’s illustrations are filled with whimsical background details. The staging and facial expressions give the proceedings an animated-movie feel.”

“Readers will melt.”
— Kirkus Reviews

“Turns worry into wonder and monsters into friends.”
— Foreword Reviews
