  "Beyond the sugar plums lies a world of clockwork wonders and ancient curses."
  
  On Christmas Eve, young Marie Stahlbaum witnesses her new Nutcracker come to life to lead an army of toy soldiers against the seven-headed Mouse King. But this is no simple bedtime story. In Hoffmann's original masterpiece, we discover the tragic "History of the Hard Nut," the secret of the Princess Pirlipat, and the true identity of the Nutcracker himself. Guided by her mysterious and eccentric Godfather Drosselmeyer, Marie must show true courage and devotion to break a century-old spell. It is a brilliant example of German Romanticism, filled with mechanical marvels, gingerbread castles, and the haunting beauty of a childhood imagination that refuses to be tamed.
  
  The "Hard Nut" Backstory: One of the most fascinating elements missing from many adaptations is the backstory of how the Nutcracker became deformed. This gothic sub-plot involves a vengeful Queen Mouse, a magical nut called Krakatuk, and a lesson on the fickle nature of beauty and gratitude.
  
  Surrealism and Wonder: Hoffmann was a master of "The Uncanny." He crafts a world where toys have complex social hierarchies and the scenery shifts from a quiet parlor to the sparkling Kingdom of Dolls. The story challenges the reader to wonder: is Marie dreaming, or is she the only one who can see the world as it truly is?
  
  Why It Is a Must-Read: If you only know the ballet, the book will surprise you with its depth, wit, and slightly darker edge. It is a story about the power of belief and the idea that "only a pure heart can see the marvelous." It remains the ultimate tribute to the magic of the holiday season and the boundless nature of the human spirit.

  The story is told from the first-person perspective of an unnamed narrator and details his experiences with a scientist named Crawford Tillinghast. Tillinghast creates an electronic device that emits a resonance wave, which stimulates an affected person's pineal gland, thereby allowing them to perceive planes of existence outside the scope of accepted reality. Sharing the experience with Tillinghast, the narrator becomes cognizant of a translucent, inter-dimensional environment that overlaps our own recognized reality. From this perspective, he witnesses hordes of strange and horrific creatures that defy description. Tillinghast reveals that he has used his machine to transport his house servants into the overlapping plane of reality. He also reveals that the effect works both ways, and allows the inter-dimensional creature denizens of the alternate dimension to perceive humans. Tillinghast's servants were attacked and killed by one such inter-dimensional entity, and Tillinghast informs the narrator that it is right behind him. Terrified beyond measure, the narrator pulls out his gun and shoots it at the machine, destroying it. Tillinghast dies immediately thereafter as a result of apoplexy. The police investigate the scene and it is placed on record that Tillinghast murdered the servants in spite of their remains never being found.

  A Modern Utopia is a 1905 novel by H. G. Wells. Because of the complexity and sophistication of its narrative structure, A Modern Utopia has been called "not so much a modern as a postmodern utopia." The novel is best known for its notion that a voluntary order of nobility known as the Samurai could effectively rule a "kinetic and not static" world state so as to solve "the problem of combining progress with political stability".
