Documentarist Ezra Montbanc thinks he's hit the jackpot when he receives an invitation to document the rites of a mysterious, hitherto unknown tribe: the Winoquin, who reside in the harrowing, inhospitable Arctic.It’s a shot at the prestigious journalism career he's long envisioned, and a path out from the borderline-exploitative series detailing the celebrations of Indigenous tribes he’s been mired in with his life and filmmaking partner, Stu.Buzzing with possibility, Ezra and his crew depart for the home of the Winoquin, only to find themselves in a frozen and bloody battle for survival atop an inaccessible glacier ritual site, where men and mythical horrors hunger for sacrifice.“A biting satire of cultural tourism and lateral violence [that] brings heart and horror to its themes of identity and history.” * Tiffany Morris, author, Green Fuse Burning“Not for the faint of heart. Morris’ narrative does not pull punches…Highly recommended for fans of Stephen Graham Jones.” * Booklist, starred reviewOne of Paste Magazine’s Most Anticipated Horror Books of Summer 2025: “A combination of indigenous folk horror and arctic survival horror…and one of the best small-press releases of the summer.”
