In “The Net,” a girl and her mother arrive at their secluded
cabin on a frozen lake to find their fishing net has been attacked,
a massive hole ripped through the middle. After the net has been
mended and the night’s catch eaten, the daughter sits awake
playing with a bit of leftover netting string. When she was a girl,
her grandmother taught her to make string figures—just as her
mother had taught her—a game played by Inuit for generations, but
a game not to be taken lightly . . . as the daughter plays late
into the night, and the mother sleeps, other monstrous forces are
soon awakened from beneath the frozen lake. In “Before Dawn” a
young boy runs out onto the tundra to play with his new friend by
his side, venturing far beyond his mother’s rule that he not
stray past the inuksuk on the horizon. The boy’s friend beckons
him farther and farther, and the farther they get from home, the
more the friend seems to change . . . until he is no longer human
at all. Horrified, the boy listens to the creature’s proposition:
return home before dawn, or be lost forever to the other side . . .
Complemented by haunting illustrations from Toma Feizo Gas, The
Other Ones is a fresh take on modern horror by an exciting new
Inuit voice.
