Yuletide - Matilda Kavanagh, #3

You better watch out. You better not cry. You better not pout. I'm telling you why. Krampus is coming to townGood little boys and girls dream of presents and goodies on Christmas morning, but the citizens of Havencrest remember a more sinister entity haunting their holidays. Bad little boys and girls don't get lumps of coal in their stockings when Krampus comes a'calling. Teeth and claws that grab and snatch.
Brambles and switches that cut and slash. Those are the things the naughty children get - if they're lucky. Mattie and her friends hear the echoing laugh of the Yule Lord, the devil with horns and his dark, black sack - all the better to snatch little children in the night. No holiday in Havencrest would be complete without witches and monsters fighting in the night. Can Mattie save Christmas from this merry devil? Only time will tell.
He knows if you've been bad or good. So be good for goodness sake!
