WHO is Brom? Born in the deep dark south in the mid-sixties. Brom, an army brat, spent his entire youth on the move and unabashedly blames living in such places as Japan, Hawaii, Germany, and Alabama for all his afflictions. From his earliest memories Brom has been obsessed with the creation of the weird, the monstrous, and the beautiful. You can find out more about him on his personal WS here: http://www.bromart.com/bio.html
THESE books are some of his publishings which you can find on Amazon or at Barnes & Noble.
AS the holidays are soon upon us, his most latest book which will fascinate the most morbid mind is KRAMPUS, the Yule Lord. If your thoughts and your mind are as dark as mine and can handle the very darkness of Brom's world in his stories than you can be sure to enjoy this book. Below the cover I'm going to give you from Brom's page what the book is about and it's to your discretion if you can handle it. Or not.
Overview
Santa Claus, my
dear old friend, you are a thief, a traitor, a slanderer, a murderer, a
liar, but worst of all you are a mockery of everything for which I
stood. You have sung your last ho, ho, ho, for I am coming for your
head. . . . I am coming to take back what is mine, to take back Yuletide
. . .

The author and artist of The Child Thief returns with a modern fabulist tale of Krampus, the Lord of Yule and the dark enemy of Santa Claus
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 back to earth, a
magical sack that thrusts 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, including 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 in his family's eyes, to save his own
broken dreams, . . . and to help bring the magic of Yule to the
impoverished folk of Boone County.
