"Want to feel haunted years from now? Read this book. These are innocence stealing stories that will scrape your soul cold. You have been warned."
Richard Van Camp, author of The Lesser Blessed and Godless but Loyal to Heaven
The book contains two separate stories, each with its own unique interpretation of Inuit stories, complemented by evocative illustrations created by Toma Feizo Gas. These stories are intended for a mature audience, depicting the true horror experienced by the characters. They emphasize the importance of listening to the Stories of Elders and respecting their experiences for survival. The book is particularly suitable for older students and those with rich and vibrant imaginations.

rom his early days of reading sci-fi and fantasy books, Toma Feizo Gas has been fascinated with the dramatic scenes portrayed on the covers of those books. There started his lifelong love affair with telling stories through pictures. Today, Toma’s key influence remains the people in these stories, the motives that drive us, and the decisions that shape us, propelling him to craft bold visual statements and contrast in his own art. As a career illustrator, his work can be found gracing the pages and covers of titles such as Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, the Star Wars and Mutant Chronicles role playing games, as well as several upcoming fantasy novel series.
