Can an elf who is more dark than glitter save Christmas and get himself off the naughty list when Christmas is suddenly canceled?
Jack Rumpus desperately wants a place where he belongs, but he hates all things happy and dreams of getting far away from the North Pole. Sure he belongs on the dark side of Christmas, he steals the naughty list to use as a map to find his idol, the Christmas-demon Krampus, who travels the world on Christmas Eve to punish all naughty children.
But Jack's dream turns into a nightmare when he finally meets his horned, devilish hero and learns that he is on Krampus' naughty list. And the Krampus does not play nice with the naughty children. Not at all. In fact, the Krampus shows he is really evil by attacking Santa Claus and dragging Jack's kinda-sorta girlfriend to the underworld.
Can this hapless helper use his crazy flying skills to rescue her and the naughty children in time to save Christmas?
If he can, Jack could get a Christmas surprise bigger than anything he's ever wanted. But, as he would say, this holiday is just... so... weird.
Bad Elf and The Krampus
is a humorous Christmas tale. If you like unlikely heroes, wild rides, and a dash of dark fun, then you'll love John Rae's rollicking adventure.
