The Nutcracker Bleeds (novel preview)
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.

This looks good already! I have actually performed in the Nutcracker before so I'm excited to read about it from such a strange, dark perspective.
@Lani_Lenore that's just sad and pathetic. She couldn't write her own frigging stories so she had to steal someone else's?? Wow, that's low.
Wow that bitch stole more than one of your stories? I liked this story when she copied it but I'll like even more from the original author!!!!!
