Those Who Make Us

Canadian Creature, Myth, and Monster Stories

Herausgeber: Morris, Kelsi; Tremblay, Kaitlin

Beschreibung

A chilling collection of Canadian stories exploring the boundaries of reality. What lurks beneath the snow, in the water's depths, or whispers on the wind across Canada? This unique anthology unveils all-new, cross-genre tales that delve into real and imagined worlds. From encounters with the Métis Rugaru to trolls grappling with modern life, and demons carried from ancestral homelands to Anishinaabe myths of creek creation, these stories redefine the unnatural. Eighteen emerging and award-winning authors explore the blurred lines between human and monster. For fans of Canadian literature and speculative fiction, Those Who Make Us offers a powerful exploration of identity, belonging, and the stories that shape us. Discover the creatures, myths, and monsters that challenge our understanding of what it means to be human.
