A collection of stories written by various writers from across the North, Taaqtumi relates stories of the fear of the dark, the cold, the landscapes of the Arctic. As the cold creeps in, you must keep the darkness out; if the darkness is inside, the cold pushes you to run outside into the landscape. 

Written by a variety of writers, each story posits a unique fear that finds you out on the tundra. The reader is simultaneously instilled with fear while learning some of the intricacies of Inuit culture.
