Description
In the Inuktitut spirit of “Taaqtumi”—in the dark—this anthology plunges readers into Arctic horror where the cold is only the beginning. Across multiple spine-tingling tales, characters face threats that creep in through isolation, supernatural temptation, and the unsettling gaps between what people believe and what the land reveals. From survival on the tundra after a devastating outbreak to a community in the far North where reality feels carefully staged, each story blends dread with resilience and cultural specificity. With contributions from acclaimed Northern writers, the collection showcases a distinctive, place-driven style that turns darkness into both atmosphere and metaphor—an invitation to confront fear, survival, and the unknown.

there were 5 stories in this 9 story anthology that really stood out to me but the 4 that i didn’t like so much really dragged; especially considering one i didn’t like was one of the longest in the book and was completely incomprehensible. stand outs for me were “the haunted blizzard,” “revenge,” “utiqtuq,” “sila,” and “the wildest game.”
