A YA fantasy novella, which can be enjoyed by adults as well, loosely based on the folklore of the Alpine regions, where the Krampus, a demonic being, goes amongst girls and boys with his switch, seeking the naughty on one terrifying night. In The Winter Witch and the Krampus, Hildefrith the Witch loses control over the wintry weather when the evil town Mayor sends her a cuckoo clock that contains...a Krampus, who, with his sinister companion Nickor, steals her Book of Spells and began to unravel winter, melting the customary snow and ice.
With the aid of the strange silver child known as Argent and the enchanted Erl-King from Everlode in the far North, can Hildefrith restore the town to its peaceful winter state? Or will the snow melt on the mountains and wash the entire town of Joyous Noel into deep Diamond Lake?

Said about TWWATK : "This is a wonderful tale of a witch,a Krampus and a child who is not what he seems. Lively prose with great imagery makes it suitable for both kids and adults.If you like the works of Tanith Lee and the films of Tim Burton,this one's for you. It's a good counterbalance to all the sickly fluff that floats around this time of year."
