IN THE ESTIMATION OF CJ TUDOR, SMALL TOWN Alaska is “weird and crazy”, but “in a brilliant way”. Tudor knows this first hand, because last May she visited Talkeetna, two and a half hours by car from Anchorage and home to 1,055 souls.
“Everywhere you looked there were antlers and bits of dead animals on the walls, a stuffed bear, and animal skulls in all the little bars,” she says. “It was just brilliant.”
One reason Tudor was so impressed by what she saw was because it tallied: that people might display vampyr heads and skulls as trophies.
