'I died this evening. A hard, bad death. Not the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.' - The Blood in My Mouth

These chilling stories are set (mostly) in Alaska and are (mostly) a mix of supernatural horror and Lovecraftian. The writing here is particularly poetic and smart, while the stories feel fatalistic and desolate. 'The Alaska they don’t show you on the travel brochures.' There’s not much comfort here, except for the dogs. I did feel and appreciate the author's love of our canine companions.

'Whatever, whichever, however: the world shows you its dark side, you take notice.' - American Remake of a Japanese Ghost Story
