Season's Reapings

A Twisted Nutcracker Retelling in Advent Form

Packaged in advent "calendar" format with blood-red sprayed edges and 24 stickered sections counting down the days, readers can open a new, gruesomely festive section to read each day-or night, if you're brave enough.

This wickedly dark and festive reimagining of The Nutcracker brings Christmas horror to Montreal, where a serial killer known as "The Mouse King" terrorizes the city during the holiday season.

As a winter storm rages just days before Christmas, a serial killer called The Mouse King haunts the dark streets of Montreal. His signature? He always places a live mouse in his victims' mouths...

A young woman tries to escape her past while facing a horrifying new threat. A corrupt police officer, whose niece fits the killer's victim profile all too well, races to solve the series of increasingly gruesome murders and protect his family. For both of them, a tragedy that saw a little boy lost in icy waters years ago holds answers-ones they may not be ready to find.

Full of holiday horror, this dark Nutcracker retelling transforms the beloved Christmas classic to an edge-of-your-seat, gore-soaked nightmare filled with a deranged cast based on timeless characters. Translated from French for the first time, Season's Reapings rings in the holidays with a new kind of terror.
