Books by Brom

Terrific. A wild ride.I loved it. It hooked me and I couldnt put it down.Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy"e;Brom is that rare breed: a person who is skilled in more than one area of artistic expression. Here's hoping that he will continue to share his dark and often beautiful dreams with us for many years to come."e; Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of EragonAcclaimed author and artist Brom raised eyebrows and pulse rates with The Child Thief, his grim, brilliantly audacious, gorgeously illustrated reimagining of the Peter Pan legend. So what does this innovative fantasist do for an encore? He tinkers darkly with the beloved mythology of Santa Claus. Set in Appalachia, Krampus the Yule Lord is a twisted fairytale about a failed West Virginia songwriter who gets ensnared on Christmas Eve in an eternal war between a not-so-saintly Saint Nick and his dark enemy Krampus, aka Black Peter, an ancient trickster demon. Krampus the Yule Lord is Gregory Maguire (Wicked) meets Susanna Clarke (Jonathan Strange Mr. Norrell) in the realm of Guillermo Del Toros Pans Labyrinth, as Clive Barker (Mr. B. Gone) works his dark sorcery from the shadows. Once again featuring Broms chillingly beautiful artwork throughout, Krampus the Yule Lord is a feast of wonder straight from the kitchen of Sweeney Todd.

The acclaimed artist Brom brilliantly displays his multiple extraordinary talents in The Child Thiefa spellbinding re-imagining of the beloved Peter Pan story that carries readers through the perilous mist separating our world from the realm of Faerie. As Gregory Maguire did with his New York Times bestselling Wicked novels, Brom takes a classic childrens tale and turns it inside-out, painting a Neverland that, like Maguires Oz, is darker, richer, more complex than innocent world J.M. Barrie originally conceived. Aningeniously executedliterary feat, illustrated with Broms sumptuous artwork, The Child Thief is contemporary fantasy at its finestcasting Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, even Captain Hook and his crew in a breathtaking new light.
