Taaqtumi 2
This new collection of horror short fiction weaves together contemporary Arctic settings with ancient monsters and mysterious beings that have been said to stalk the tundra for centuries.

Featuring new fiction from award-winning authors Aviaq Johnston, Rachel and Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley and Jamesie Fournier, as well as new voices in the genre, this collection is perfect for any horror lover.

Jessie Conrad credits her family Elders for spurring her horror obsession. Without reservation, they would tell her age-old stories about feet-eating owls, the nefarious bushman, and mysteries of mind-bending medicine power that is often used for ill-intentioned purposes. The sunless winter days of the Northwest Territories provided the ideal environment for Jessie’s fears to run amuck.
An Inuk raised in Denendeh, Jamesie Fournier's work has appeared in Inuit Art Quarterly, Red Rising magazine, Northern Public Affairs, and the anthology Coming Home: Stories from the Northwest Territories. His brother, Zebede Tulugaq Evaluardjuk-Fournier, illustrated his last two projects with Inuit Art Quarterly. Jamesie was guest author at the 2018 & 2020 Northwords Writers Festivals and a runner up for 2018Sally Manning Award for Indigenous Creative Non-Fiction. He lives in Iqaluit, Nunavut.
