** Full disclosure: I received this book in exchange for an honest review**
The 'Tales of Krampus' is a collection of short stories that is apparently a companion to an earlier book 'Krampunsnacht: Twelve Night of Krampus,', which I have not read but I did not find that this caused any problems in reading this one, all of the stories I read seemed fine as stand alone's.
This is a fun, fun collection, even the weakest of the stories (which for me is a tie between Villainess Ascending and Santa's Little Helper) had fun elements and felt worth reading. I don't even think I could pick a favorite out of all of them to be honest. They were all so different and touched on a variety of genres and for all that this collection focuses on Krampus, for me it actually did a good job expressing the more positive or even realistic themes of family and Christmas so I'm glad I read it at Christmas time when I sort of needed a pick me up...which now seems odd to type considering how dark some of the stories got...
I enjoyed this collection so much and I am so excited about the new authors I've just been introduced to as well as the other collections offered by this publisher, which I've added to my to be read list.
