    About this ebook

    Calling On Krampus is a chilling tale of supernatural retribution, and an ideal read on a cold winter's night. Two young boys, who are also close friends, are mercilessly bullied at school. As Christmas approaches, with the bully still showing no sign whatsoever of desisting from his aggression and displaying some peace and goodwill to his victims, one of the boys finally decides that drastic action must be taken. Combining his remarkable talent for drawing with his father's extensive knowledge of the occult, he begins to hatch an extraordinary plan, a plan that could have terrifying consequences . . .

      Author’s Note

      Chapter One

      I do hope we get a white Christmas this year, little Mandy Hawkins, 8, said to her older brother David, 9, as they walked down the narrow street to their school.

      Yeah, me too, David replied, his breath visible before him in the frosty air as he spoke. Weather’s certainly cold enough for it.

      It was a week before Christmas, and all through the small town both children and adults alike were all getting into the festive mood. In the town centre, even the normally tight-fisted council had been touched by the yuletide goodwill this year, for despite the spending cuts, they had scraped their tight budget enough to set up a lovely big Christmas tree whose branches were liberally festooned with all kinds of colourful decorations and sparkling tinsel. And at night, on came the fairy lights, enhancing the sparkling look of the olive-green tree all the more.

      So, have you written your letter to Father Christmas yet, David? Mandy asked, her pretty little blue eyes gleaming teasingly. She’d never believed in Santa Claus. Neither had her brother. But come Christmas time, they always liked to pull each other’s legs about everything, from possible Dear Santa letters to how much of a greedy pig each could be at the Christmas dinner table. Their mutual teasing was just another part of their enjoyment of the festive season.

      David looked at his sister and gave a cynical laugh. You’re joking, aren’t you? If there is anybody I am going to pester for some cool Christmas presents this year, it’s going to be Dad, not Santa. And he certainly had a point, for their father had just got promoted at work to quite a senior position, and with that promotion came quite a handsome increase in his salary. Thus, not only David but his little sister too were expecting some real special presents this year.

      Wasn’t it lucky for us all, Mandy said, Dad getting promoted like that? Just in time for Christmas. She smiled at the thought and emitted a long, contented sigh. She was already imagining vividly all the expensive presents that they both could possibly be waking up to on Christmas morning, courtesy of their now Big Boss Dad.

      I’ll say, David said, sharing her smile at the thought.

      It was now approaching 9.00 a.m. as
