Forget the red suit. In the world of Rare Exports , the "real" Santa is a monstrous entity trapped deep within the Korvatunturi mountains. Excavated by a research team, this ancient being doesn't want cookies—he wants to punish the "naughty."

It taps into genuine Alpine and Scandinavian folklore (like the Yule Goat) that predates the Coca-Cola version of St. Nick.

It maintains a deadpan, Finnish wit that keeps the dark subject matter from feeling too heavy.
