Mathilda Zeller’s It Looks Like You in the Dark has arrived at its October 13 publication date from Tor Nightfire. The horror debut follows Tapeesa, a recent school-leaver living and working in the Iñupiat village of Chukchi in Alaska. Tapeesa knows warnings about the kushtuka, a hungry creature that can appear as

someone a person loves. When her sister Esther disappears, those inherited stories become entangled with her search for an explanation in the darkening Arctic. The publisher’s synopsis places a planned rare-earths mine north of the village alongside the supernatural threat. Tapeesa’s attempt to find her sister

therefore unfolds within a landscape already shaped by outsiders’ demands on the region and its people. Zeller previously wrote Kushtuka , a story included in the anthology Never Whistle at Night . The new novel extends her work in Alaskan Native folklore and horror. Tor Nightfire lists the 288-page book under ISBN

9781250402035 and offers an opening excerpt through its official publication page. Read the original source. Image: Tor Nightfire / Macmillan.
