In the brooding mountains the wicked giantess Gr?la dwells with her offspring, the mischievous Yule Lads, and the sinister Yule Cat. In the weeks before Christmas they descend to terrorize the hapless people below. While the thirteen lads will steal their sausages, slam their doors and peek through their windows, the cat will hunt down and devour any child who doesn't receive any new clothes for Christmas.This heroic crown of sonnets tells the tale of Anna, a young girl who seeks to avoid her cruel fate by imploring her distracted mother and father to give her some new clothes - any clothes - for Christmas. As the fateful day draws ever closer and the Yule Lads mercilessly harass her family, her desperation grows by the day. Will she live to see another year, or will she become the next meal of the voracious Yule Cat?

Ruth Roy, a Wisconsinite in her late sixties, seeks to put the tragedies of her small town past behind her by acquiring a small property and founding a business along with a new life in the Old World before age and decrepitude overtake her.

She finds herself searching desperately for a way out of the horrors that threaten to ensnare her; horrors which all began with that tiny little house she acquired, and the mysterious cellar on top of which it was built.
