Christmas is a time of darkness and the veil between living and uncanny is thinnest. Yuletide – stretching from December and the pre-Christian Christmas and into New Year - is full of folklore. Dark Christmas chapbook contains story-specific images to accompany each of the ten tales. From the malevolent Kallikantzaroi, the Yuletide sister witches offering blessings or cures, the child-stealing Krampus and the Icelandic Yule Lads who kidnap badly behaved children for the their troll-witch mother Gryla to eat. These are are darkest of tales few of us hear at Christmas. Are you ready?
