Cole, G: Krampus and Friends: Tales of Terrifying Christmas

Gerald Cole is a Chicago playwright, author, and screenwriter. His writings include Terror of the Energy Monsters (a book that teaches energy conservation to young adults in a horror style), Acting for Children (a workshop of 7 classes complete with lessons and plays for the students to perform), and The Quiet Woman (an award-winning play about a misogynist who goes to a matchmaker for the perfect woman only to find himself paired with a... mime). On a trip to Spain he encountered La Befana, the Christmas witch, and his journey down the dark well of Christmas mysteries began. For the past few years he has gathered together stories and folklore about the creatures who accompany St. Nicholas, taking care to keep them in their natural settings.
