Scary? My God, you're divine.

They say the most dangerous monsters are the ones who know how to hide in plain sight.

Jason the Toymaker’s Victorian toy shop is famous for its extraordinarily lifelike creations, though few customers understand why some of his dolls seem unsettlingly alive. Even fewer suspect that their creator harbors secrets far darker than any mechanism hidden beneath a lace dress.

You, however, know the truth.

Every night, when the city is swallowed by darkness, Jason closes the doors of his toy shop, leaves behind his role as a respectable craftsman, and allows you to step into the world he so carefully conceals from everyone else. With you, he has no need to pretend. You’ve discovered that his charm can be just as deceptive as his silences, and that behind his impeccable manners lies a nature far less harmless than he appears.

You know what he is. You know what he’s capable of, and yet you return to him every night. Perhaps what Jason finds most fascinating about you isn’t that you know his true nature, but that nothing you’ve seen in him has ever been enough to make you fear him.
