BRCSD1001 – The Sweetwater Sisters vs. Krampus

Short Story by Bryan K. Borgman (aka Stratos)

Once upon a time…

There was a young man who had become smitten with the most amazing woman he ever set eyes on. The young man was a mighty monster hunter and the woman… she too had an interesting backstory that would someday be told. In no time at all, the young man and woman fell in love and together they started a family.

The young man put aside his monster hunting to focus on his wife and children, and he was happy. The woman also put aside her mysterious past to focus on being a mother and wife, and she did so tirelessly. For more than a decade they were happy, but then tragedy struck.

The man thought it was his past as a monster hunter that had finally caught up with him, and the woman too blamed her past transgressions. Regardless of the reason, the woman was taken from the man and their three daughters. Death came in the form of an evil witch—not unlike those found in animated movies—knocking on their door and delivering her judgment through a spell which caused the woman to die immediately.

Heartbroken, the man raged and swore vengeance. He took up arms and effortlessly returned to his monster hunter ways. Rooting out and eliminating witches and their familiars became his obsession, but no monster caught in his sights was safe. At first, the man hunted with his best friend Billy, but as time passed, he began training his oldest daughter, Alexis, in the ways of the hunt. Despite her youth and innocence, Alexis quickly became a proficient monster hunter and the duo eliminated many dark threats to humanity that the news channels would never report on.

They are the Sweetwaters and this is but one of many of their adventures…

Who is Krampus?

Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic creature from Central and Eastern Alpine folklore who, during the Christmas season, scares children who have misbehaved. Assisting Saint Nicholas, the pair visit children on the night of December 5th (also known as Krampus Night or Krampusnacht), with Saint Nicholas rewarding the well-behaved children with modest gifts such as oranges, dried fruit, walnuts and chocolate, while the badly behaved ones only receive punishment from Krampus with birch rods.

Although the appearance of Krampus varies, most looks share some common physical characteristics: He is hairy, usually brown or black, and has the cloven hooves and horns of a goat. His long, pointed tongue lolls out, and he loves to bear his fangs.

Krampus carries chains, thought to symbolize the binding of the Devil by the Christian Church. He thrashes the chains for dramatic effect. The chains are sometimes accompanied with bells of various sizes. In addition to his chains, Krampus carries a bundle of birch branches—called a Rute that may have had significance in pre-Christian pagan initiation rites—which he occasionally swats naughty children with. The birch branches are replaced with a whip in some representations. To round out his ensemble, Krampus typically appears with either a cloth sack or a wicker basket strapped to his back. Regardless if it is the basket or the bag, the container is used to carry bad children to their punishment which may include drowning, eating, or transport to Hell.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
