When Little Joe the Krampus Met

In a surprisingly timely manner, here's a poem inspired by my pal The joey Zone, famed of song and story -- and brilliant illustrations (isn't it cool when you have a mug with your friend's artwork on it from a way cool conference like Necronomicon -- yes, I'm talking about the world's most elegant Cthulhu!). Well, Joe has long had a fascination with the Krampus, who in many Germanic countries accompanies Saint Nicholas on his travels punishing the bad children with switches while the saint fills the good kids' shoes with goodies. The very worst children get clapped in chains and dragged off in the Krampus' basket to suffer a year's worth of hell.

But what if the Krampus met up with a mischievous boy who was NOT afraid? Well, listen and hear the tale -- or hop on over to the website and buy a copy of the chapbook, designed and illustrated by The joey Zone (of course!).
