Krampus Greetings 🎄🦌⛄
How Krampus licked my face in his dingy grotto for Christmas.
Merry Christmas and thanks from the bottom of my heart for reading IF YOU GO AWAY and supporting my writing. Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, please know that it means the world to me that you’re choosing to read my work.
This month I visited the Krampus Grotto at Bodmin Jail and would thoroughly recommend it if you’ve outgrown sitting on Santa’s knee and would prefer a gaggle of miscreants to harass you underground while a hulking brute licks your face to taste the sin in your sweat.
