The Krampus booktube tag is great fun. I had to play along after seeing some of my favourite hosts do the same!

Namely, that is Elizabeth Sagewood and Year of the Author so far, and I hope more of us get into it for December 2021.

Here are the questions:

1. The Man Himself- Which fictional character would best play the Christmas Demon?

2. Is that sleigh bells?- Which fictional character deserves to be visited by Krampus?

4. Devilish Gifts- What is one strange fictional item you'd like to receive from Krampus?

5. Food, Glorious Food- What is one food (fictional or real) you'd like to eat for Christmas Dinner?

6. Home for Christmas- What is one dark & dangerous fictional location you'd like to visit for Christmas?

7. Location, Location- Where would you like to travel with Krampus/who would you like to visit with Krampus?

8. Locking Horns- What fictional character (good or evil) would you like to see battle Krampus?

9. Spreading the Fear- What book would Krampus give to Santa Claus?

Today we talk about Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon. A classic countryside creeping horror novel.

Now, Harvest Home Hacks sounds odd, so here are some things that heightened the fun for me while reading this classic. A wonderful book despite the slump I hit while reading ~ if you know of other rural novels like this, I'm all 'ears'.

Celso Hurtado was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. He has been a punk guitarist, worked in the political arena, and has played entirely too many hours of The Legend of Zelda. In his writing, he strives to surprise his readers and make them think twice before investigating that creak in the hallway. The Ghost Tracks is his first novel, a young-adult paranormal thriller out now from Inkshares and I am so pleased he could join us on the show.

Last month I read less than I wanted, but did relax a whole lot! In the last week of the month, I read quite a bit more, finishing Tender is the Flesh, a novella, The Ghost Tracks, and working on one that is taking a while for me to get through. The next month has a good mix of urban and extreme horror and with a few novellas in the mix!

A dystopian horror, set in a world where animals are not used for food anymore because there are no animals left but us.

From the description, "Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans -though no one calls them that anymore" ...they call them 'special meat' and that dissonance is the first battle the reader must endure. From tip to tail, this book is a riveting read that I enjoyed very much. Contains minimal animal cruelty, unless you count humans... then it contains quite a bit.
