Forget the mall. Forget the predictable holiday gifts. And whatever you do, don't get on Krampus' naughty list.

This holiday season, Krampus is opening his very own book shoppe, and he's bringing a collection of authors, vendors, and seriously twisted stories along for the ride!

On Friday, December 4, 2026, the Krampus Secret Book Shoppe takes over Nocturnem Draft-Haus in Bangor for an evening of books, authors, shopping, drinks, and holiday mischief.

If your idea of holiday cheer involves a little horror, a dash of the paranormal, and stories that go bump in the night, this is the event for you.

Meet Authors Who Bring the Dark to Life

The Krampus Secret Book Shoppe brings together authors representing a variety of genres, making it easy to find something for every kind of reader.

Meet the authors behind the stories, talk about their books, discover new favorites, and pick up some literary gifts for the readers on your holiday shopping list.

Books Aren't the Only Treats!

Local vendors will also be joining the festivities with unique gifts, handmade goods, bookish merchandise, and unexpected treasures.

Whether you're hunting for a one-of-a-kind holiday present, looking to expand your own reading collection, or simply want an excuse to enjoy a drink while browsing some wonderfully unusual merchandise, there's plenty of mischief to be found.

Don't Keep Krampus Waiting!

Skip the ordinary holiday shopping experience and support independent authors and local creators instead.

Bring your friends, grab a drink, discover some new stories, and enjoy an evening where the holiday spirit has a decidedly darker side.
