"Taaqtumi" is an Inuktitut word that means "in the dark"--and these spine-tingling horror stories by Northern writers show just how dangerous darkness can be. A family clinging to survival out on the tundra after a vicious zombie virus. A door that beckons, waiting to unleash the terror behind it. A post-apocalyptic community in the far North where things aren't quite what they seem. With chilling tales from award-winning authors Richard Van Camp, Rachel and Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley, Aviaq Johnston, and others, this collection will thrill and entertain even the most seasoned horror fan.

The Arctic is an essential part of these stories, but it's mainly humans who are the monsters.

Very interesting and all excellent writers! I wish some of the stories were longer to develop them more, and I didn't quite get the spookies I was hoping for, but I'll definitely be looking into some of these authors more!

Very different voices and a unique spin on traditional stories in a contemporary context. Cannibalism to VR.
