<p>"With<em> Ajjiit</em>, husband-and-wife team Sean A. Tinsley and Rachel A. Qitsualik...have employed traditional Inuit tales to create a collection of dark fantasy stories that provides readers with a breath of fresh Arctic air"—<em>Quill & Quire</em></p>
<p>“[Ajjiit] is a wonderfully phantasmagoric collection of fantasy tales inspired by traditional Inuit stories of transformation and struggle . . . . This is a collection about what it means to be human, about the innua or core spirit that lies beneath the social masks of all animals and spirits in the Arctic.”—<em>Canadian Literature</em></p>
<p>“. . . [T]he best of what I look for in diverse speculative fiction: imaginative stories that engage with a range of ideas, emotions, and tropes from non-Western sources.”—<em>The Globally Curious</em></p>
Award-winning science fiction writer Sean A. Tinsley and respected Inuit author Rachel A. Qitsualik lend gothic interpretation to Inuit shamanism in this original collection of dark fantasy for modern audiences.
