In Richard Van Camp's fictionalized north anything can happen and
yet each story is rooted in a vivid contemporary reality. The
stories offer a potent mix of tropes from science fiction, horror,
Western and Aboriginal traditions. The title story pits Torchy
against Smith Squad, fighting for love and family in a bloody,
cathartic, and ultimately hopeful narrative. Van Camp's characters
repeatedly confront the bleakness of sexual assault, substance
addiction and violence with the joy and humour of inspired
storytelling.
