AlbakiReads Editorial

Rules, isolation, and an uncertain friendship

Set in a remote Labrador island community, the novel centers on young Robert’s tightly governed home life and the strain of trying to fit in. An especially forbidding rule—never touching the floor at night—hints at the pressures shaping his daily world. When the outside world begins to intrude, Robert’s life changes sharply, while a friendship with Becky offers a source of comfort complicated by uncertainty about who she is. The Indigenous-fantasy classification places the book within that genre, while the description foregrounds family control, isolation, and the unsettling edges of the familiar.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in fantasy set in a remote Labrador community.
  • Readers drawn to stories about strict family rules, isolation, and a young person’s changing life.
  • Those interested in Indigenous fantasy.

Book overview

Never. Touch. The floor. At night. It's not easy for young Robert to fit into his remote Labrador island community. The son of an overbearing Scotsman with a dark past, his life is revolves around the icy, strict confines of his home. Rules govern his and his brother's daily life, with one especially important one, about touching the floor at night. As the terrifying outside world accidentally percolates into Robert's day-to-day, his life starts to change - more dramatically than most teenagers should ever experience. The only comfort comes from a new friendship: Becky, a charismatic island girl... or is she?
