He is possessed by a shape-shifting demon. Inspector Hatcher and Father Xavier must unravel a mystery that has spanned centuries and confront a predator that has turned the frozen woods into a killing ground where evil has come to feed.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Pushing the limits of hyperactive horror, this dark fantasy combines mythologies to inflict manitous and demons on the inhabitants of fur-trapping outposts in the Canadian wilderness of 1870. Insp. Tom Hatcher left Montreal to recover from pursuing the Cannery Cannibal, but now he is profoundly shaken as people around him are slaughtered or transformed into ravenous, flesh-eating fiends. He is both attracted to and repelled by Anika Moonblood, an Ojibwa tracker with her own traumatic history, who tries to awaken his repressed Native American spirituality so that he can recognize the evil spirits at work. Meanwhile, Jesuit exorcist Father Xavier attempts to identify those possessed by demons. It’s hard to work up much involvement with the many characters who exist merely to contribute their blood and guts to the proceedings, and the frantic action eventually becomes more numbing than diverting. (Jan.)

    Not for the faint of heart

    A very well done horror with believable plot twists, loss, betrayal and redemption. The main characters are those that have lost the groundings of their lives, usually through the actions of others. These are people that could easily have given in to despair and surrendered to the evil that had already tried to destroy their lives but manage to make it through the hardships for a chance to rebuild their lives. Ultimately, in the end, this is a tale about justice and a fresh chance.
    Taking place during the colonial days with the northern fur trade and involving evil spirits, deals with the devil and cannibalism. Definitely not for the faint of heart. © Night Owl Reviews
