Nunatsiaq News Interviews Jamesie Fournier about his short story Mask and Bone in Taaqtumi 2!

Jorge Antunes from Nunatsiaq News has interviewd Jamesie Fournier about his short story “Mask and Bone” in Taaqtumi 2: An Anthology of Arctic Horror Stories!

Here’s part of the article: “‘When you encounter scary stories, in most cultures, they have that high interest value where they could be a little morbid or graphic or very dark and macabre, and usually these stories kind of have some sort of inherent lesson in them that might make it cautionary in nature,’ said writer Jamesie Fournier, describing why traditional Inuit stories often take on scary themes.

‘What seems to work well is when you have these darker elements at play in a story, it makes it especially memorable.

‘So when you make them gruesome, especially for younger folks, that is something that will stand out in their mind — if they find something to be afraid of, that fear also keeps them safe.'”
