So many of these were really, really good. The first two were my favorite, were completely in line with what I really enjoy about Arctic horror in particular. The second to last one, The Wildest Game, is kinda exactly what you think it’s gonna be and then just rips itself sideways for you in a lightning quick way to give you a last little oomph.

The only one that didn’t really resonate with me was Lounge, but I think it’s a taste thing rather than a quality thing.

These were all super spooky and made for great reads before bed.

Not often am I truly chilled by horror. This book truly delivers with its chilling descriptions and adventures into the limits of the human conditions. 
I am a marked fan of indigenous fiction… This book, again, clearly delivers.
Zombies always make my stomach churn, and cannibals written without the shock factor of our dear Hannibal are frankly more chilling than anyone knows.
