It's a bloody cold winter.Throughout history, he has secretly visited this world again and again. The Prankster, the mischief-maker, of Norse mythology...Loki. Now, one Donald Holly—an ordinary, lonely man living in northern Minnesota—comes to be possessed bodily by the Asgardian deity of evil, robbed of his will...and of his very humanity, as horrific death and bizarre destruction blossom from the Trickster's power, in the town of Eau Froid in the dead of freezing winter. Even Federal experts cannot separate Holly from this parapsychological parasite which manifests in him, as Loki is just too powerful. Yet, Holly himself might just find the will to overcome the evil magic of the demon who would be a god, even if it means the destruction of all that he is.
