Winner of the Blue Metropolis First Peoples Literary Prize, Storyteller of the Year from the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers, and the Order of the Northwest Territories, Richard Van Camp has written 28 books in 28 years… and it looks like his incredible career of storytelling magic continues in 2024. In his latest, Beast, he blends realism with hair-raising horror in a spirited tale that pits the powers of tradition against the pull of a vengeful past in the fictional town of Fort Simmer, Northwest Territories. In conversation, Van Camp will speak more about what draws him back to this riveting fictional place in multiple books, how he became so prolific, and the Indigenous stories that are inspiring him today. Grades 8-12. Moderated by Jael Richardson.
