pickSupernatural beings from Anishinaabe legends rub shoulders with humans at Ghost Lake, the setting for these interconnected short stories. Realism chilled with a light dash of horror. It‘s a great mix. #Indigenous #CanLit #shadowgiller2021
This Kegedonce Press book is a lovely object, with a tree silhouette decorating the start of each short story. Book design is by Chantal Lalonde. There are also tiny drawings—antlers, dragonflies, eyeglasses, crows—that decorate the spaces marking scene changes within the stories. Illustrations are by the author.
“Clay tries to get back to sleep, but […] he is haunted by that strange growling sound. Now that Aya‘ah has pointed it out to him, he can‘t seem to tune it out.”
This passage in Adler‘s Ghost Lake struck me because I recently read Tanahill‘s The Listeners. How odd that two books in the past week feature characters who suffer because they hear a constant sound not perceived by others.
