ABOUT THE BOOK: With the appearance of the demonic Christmas character Krampus in contemporary Hollywood movies, television shows, advertisements, and greeting cards, medieval folklore has now been revisited in American culture. Krampus-related events and parades occur both in North America and Europe, and they are an ever-growing phenomenon.
Though the Krampus figure has once again become iconic, not much can be found about its history and meaning, thus calling for a book like Al Ridenour's The Krampus: Roots and Rebirth of the Folkloric Devil. With Krampus's wild, graphic history, Feral House has hired the awarded designer Sean Tejaratchi to take on Ridenour's book about this ever-so-curious figure.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Al Ridenour’s passion for the horror genre is genuine, as is his eagerness to explore and seriously analyze its relationship with the folkloric realm. Throughout his life, Ridenour has eagerly embraced the weird and macabre, exploring his obsessions through various creative modes and undertakings. Since the 1990s, Ridenour has worked as a journalist, author, artist, animator, arts impresario, and small-time cultural agitator. Al Ridenour is the author of the only English-language book on Krampus history and folklore, "The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas".
