Stefan Koidl is a freelance illustrator and Krampus mask carver living in Hallein, Austria. He worked as a freelancer for multiple clients such as Dark Horse Comics, Hi-Rez Studios, Ravensburger, Rhino Games, Adreama Games, to name a few.

"I love to draw images that tell a story, and I believe that paintings should evoke a viewer's feelings and make them think. I especially like to paint creepy and dark stuff -- I find it thrilling to "play" with a viewer's fear."

And about his book:

In this book, Stefan Koidl aims to showcase his passion for painting frightening digital illustrations and carving Krampus masks; share stories that deepen the meaning behind his artwork, talk about his experiences with turning art into a career, break down his creative processes and much more.
