Charming collection of short stories, I'll definitely be wanting more from Van Camp.

This collection should be rated higher! It's like people forget what a collection of short novels feels like. Content is clearly very personal, relevant, and relatable to anyone in touch with indigenous issues. If you have problems connecting to the content, it might help to reflect on any that might be.

I’m not usually a fan of short story collections. They either leave me wanting… and okay, a few of these short stories did leave me wanting but only because the world built in them was phenomenal and I’d read a novel (or several) about it. This was a charming and delightful collection and I will now seek out more by Van Camp.

My favourite in this collection is “Man Babies” for sure! I’d love to see the Wheatago Wars stories evolve into a novel.

Great collection of short stories taking place in northern Canada. Strange mix of sci-fi/horror and just regular, person stories.
