Krampus-related events and parades occur both in North America and Europe, and they are an ever-growing phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough the Krampus figure has once again become iconic, not much can be found about its history and meaning, thus calling for a book like Al Ridenour's \u003ci\u003eThe Krampus: Roots and Rebirth of the Folkloric Devil\u003c\/i\u003e. With Krampus's wild, graphic history, Feral House has hired the awarded designer Sean Tejaratchi to take on Ridenour's book about this ever-so-curious figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAl Ridenour\u003c\/b\u003e has lectured on Krampus at the Goethe Institutes in Los Angeles. He became somewhat of an internet phenomenon himself due to the hilarious hijinks he coordinated with the controversial Cacophony Societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Al Ridenour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1627310347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781627310345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Feral House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/10\/2016","brand":"Al Ridenour","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050893013247,"sku":"9781627310345","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73e3fd95-8808-4de7-9b75-129a16142b5f.jpg?v=1685009862","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-krampus-and-the-old-al-ridenour-9781627310345","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
