A horrific retelling of the Nutcracker story. On Christmas Eve in 1905, a household in London finds itself under a centuries-old curse when a strange new toy is brought into the house. A young nanny named Anne is immersed in the horrific world of her unstable charge, Olivia, when a bite from a mouse makes her the size of a doll, and she must brave a world of mangled and demented toys that have come to life, each having his own vendetta - the most unrelenting of which is the mysterious and handsomely-carved nutcracker, who becomes her only sane ally.  It is war in the lower levels of the house between the rodents and the toys, yet Anne's only concern is getting Olivia and herself back to the way they once were - before it is too late for either of them.

Scarring

1 part Ongoing

Scarring tells the story of Matilda, a porcelain doll brought to life in a city dying of plague and decay. Inside her fragile body beats a mechanical heart - cold, steady, and unrelenting - a symbol of both her creation and her curse. As she awakens to awareness, Matilda begins to question what it means to exist, to feel, and to suffer, haunted by the relentless ticking within her chest. Her creator, Lancier, is a nobleman driven by loneliness and obsession, seeking perfection through lifeless beauty. But when his creation begins to think and feel for herself, his fascination turns to fear and cruelty. Through Matilda's eyes, Scarring explores the birth of emotion in something meant to be soulless - a fragile rebellion against the man who made her and the collapsing world that surrounds them.
