#237 – Krampus: The Yule Lord by Brom (with Hannah, Rebecca, and Sarah of Can I Spoil Something?)

Tune in as the Christmas season keeps rolling forward on the podcast! For this second episode of December, Hannah, Rebecca, and Sarah (Can I Spoil Something?) are rejoining 2CC for a dive into Krampus: The Yule Lord, the 2012 holiday horror novel by Brom that takes you on a grisly and festive journey alongside a struggling singer who gets dragged into a mission that the horned folkloric figure Krampus is pursuing to take back Yuletide from Santa Claus. A dirty cop named Dillard and other loathsome men in this book, the choice to connect Krampus to Norse mythology, laughing a ton over Santa’s sack, and appreciation for Sinners pop up as a few of the topics that the hosts weave their way through for this episode.TW: death, murder, violence, gun violence, domestic abuse, child neglect and abuse, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, suicide (in the past), animal injury and death, alcohol, drugs, substance abuse, pregnancy (in the past), ableism, racism, homophobia, religious bigotry, and mental illnessSpoilers start at 20:30Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere’s how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere’s how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere’s how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Rebecca: Attack on Titan• Hannah: Mosaic crochet• Sarah: Studio Ghibli movies, particularly Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, Howl’s Moving Castle, Kiki’s Delivery Service, The Wind Rises, and Spirited Away• Arthur: A Time Called YouReach out at [email protected] if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree
