Occultist archaeologist Western Gently must find the Book of the Jubilation before the darkest abomination from the deepest beyond destroys the mind of everyone on Earth.
Following a disastrous dig in Egypt, Western Gently returns to London in the winter of 1850 and learns that the Book of the Jubilation has begun circulating through arcane circles. When the book is stolen, she faces a race against time to find the book and stop whichever occult ritual is taking place before the veil is torn and the darkness claims the world. Beth Macdonald brings her second solo storytelling show to Edinburgh Krampus Fest. Prepare for mend melting horrors against the snowy backdrop of turn of the century where even the sweet carol singers aren’t what they seem.
