| Publisher Description: This is an Alaska shaman thriller-terror novel that starts over 100 years ago in Alaska and ends up in New York City during the mid-1990s. Alaska Crying Baby centers around a village shaman who goes to New York City to claim the body of his slain grandson. Using his powerful medicine, the shaman finds out who killed him and avenges his death by summoning the northern lights that contain the evil and immortal spirit, the Crying Baby. Coupling Eskimo customs and varying legends of Alaska with the customs associated with walking through New York City streets today, Alaska Crying Baby reveals many instances of human strengths and weaknesses. Moments of humor are closely followed by sheer terror, keeping the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride right up to the end of the story. Alaska Crying Baby book is also Audio-Voiced. |
