In seventeenth-century Germany, as an ugly war rages through the countryside, an otherworldly nightmare spends years stalking a small Bavarian village. The villagers have built their entire lives around their curse and the hefty toll it demands, pushing away new arrivals who could be affected by it. Just as winter settles in, a young traveler wanders into the unwelcoming village. He comes face to face with the very thing that haunts it. In doing so, he sets events in motion that threaten to pull the village apart by its already fraying edges. Steeped in the rich history of seventeenth-century Germany, Deerstalker is a supernatural horror story entwined with a tantalizing LGBT+ romance.
