Folklore, religion and familiar children’s stories become violent adult narratives in the dark fantasy Brom both writes and illustrates. The Child Thief transforms Peter Pan into a grim story about abused and abandoned children drawn into an ancient war, while Krampus places the Christmas figure in conflict with Santa Claus in rural America. Lost Gods follows a dead man travelling through an underworld populated by forgotten deities, and Slewfoot is set in seventeenth-century New England, where a widowed woman forms an alliance with a mysterious forest creature while her Puritan community turns against her. Brom’s books are plot-driven, macabre and visually distinctive, with his own illustrations often part of the reading experience. They fit dark fantasy, folk horror and mythic retellings, especially for readers who prefer grotesque imagery and morally ambiguous supernatural beings. Read more Less
