3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
The Shadows that Rush Past introduces young readers to some of the creepiest, scariest stories from Inuit mythology. These tales, told by critically acclaimed writer Rachel Qitsualik, bring to life four creatures from Inuit mythology: the amautalik, akhla, nanurluk, and mahaha.These tales are filled with childstealing ogresses; half-man, half– grizzly bear monsters; ice-covered polar bears ten times the size of normal bears; and a smiling creature that surprises unsuspecting campers and tickles them to death!

NOOOOPPPPPEEE. This freaked me the freak out. The illustrations are terrifying. Thank you, Inuit culture, for introducing me to the Mahaha, WHICH WILL TICKLE YOU TO DEATH. NOOOOO.

Yeah, not for the sensitive. But if your kid is looking for scary stories & is tired of ones that they've heard a million times, an attack polar bear could do the trick. It is well-written & exposes kids to a mythology they may be unfamiliar with. But it scared me. :)

Yet another Inhabit Media picture book. This small collection of scary Inuit traditional stories is an absolute gem. It includes the origins of the for (same as the previous book I reviewed here) but otherwise is all new stories to me. These are creepy, delightful, and have beautiful illustrations (my favourite is pictured above). Definitely recommended.
