Description
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.
Drawing on familiar tropes of the fantasy and sciencefiction genres, Ajjiit gives fans of mainstream fantasy fiction and the short stories of writers such as Tanith Lee and Charles de Lint a whole new mythological world to discover.
