When a tour member turns up dead on a mountainous hiking trail, Emily blames herself for the mishap—until she learns that something far hairier might be the cause. One of the seniors snaps a photo of what looks like Bigfoot, raising questions about what happened to the victim. But the elusive sasquatch is just a legend, isn't it? Between whale watching in the glacial waters near Seward and ziplining in the primal forests of Denali, Emily finds herself locked in a game of cat and mouse with a killer who may or may not be mere myth.

The book which you hold in your hand, like its protagonist, belongs to a rare and terrifying breed. Jake Ziemba's eminently promising first novel, The Yukon Glory, written throughout the author's struggle with rare blood disease PNH, blends raw emotion, intense violence, rich conceptualization, and sensitive characterization to create one of the most brilliant works of phantasmagoria in the past several decades. It is a tale of a man's will destroyed by his bloodlust, against a backdrop of viral holocaust in an alternate 1970's America. Along the way, there are cameo appearances from such historically unsavory individuals as Richard Nixon and Adolf Hitler, as well as vampires, participants in the French Revolution, fiery demon-people, and a whole society turned insectoid in its rage and confusion. Conceptually innovative and stylistically arresting, this book is sure to become renowned.
