Pterodactyls, copulating hyenas, multicolored blood, an alcoholic medium, a meditative model, human redwoods, a post-punk serial killer, an Antarctic elegy, a poison house, a cursed cabin, a mischievous store, an imaginary novel, post-apocalyptic pie, Joan of Arc, Frida Kahlo's monkeys, and a deer with the head of Emily Dickinson-- all covered in the chilling rime of wintry discontent.
