Krampus and the Crone

The mix of holiday tradition and alien elements is so unique — I wonder what led to that creative decision and how it shaped the story.

The book balances creepy Krampus vibes with cozy holiday feelings, but at times I wasn't sure if I should be scared or charmed. How did others interpret this tone?

Her blend of wisdom and mystery made her stand out, and I'm curious about what influenced her characterization and backstory.
