Publisher's Summary
James Dommek, Jr., an Alaska Native writer and musician, sheds new light on a real-life mystery that pits Native American folklore against the US justice system. In the vast Alaskan Arctic, legend has it there once lived a mythic tribe—Iñukuns—that only existed in rumors and whispers. This changed forever when an actor-turned-fugitive, Teddy Kyle Smith, had an encounter that brought Iñukuns from myth to reality. Smith was an aspiring actor with a promising career until it all came quickly crashing down with a gunshot, a manhunt, bloodshed, and other frightful events.
The story of Smith’s tragic downfall has long haunted James Dommek, Jr., the great-grandson of the last of the Iñupiaq story-tellers. Midnight Son is his journey in discovering who Teddy Kyle Smith was, what he did, and what he really saw. Along the way, listeners will experience the soul of the real Alaska as narrator Dommek, Jr. brings this multilayered and sprawling tale to life.
Please Note: Midnight Son contains adult language and violent themes. Discretion is advised.

Great true crime listen.
On the face of it the story didn't seem like it was as interesting as it turned out to be, Very well put together.
The author occasionally gets angry about "the whites" but such casual racism is pretty common on audible sadly. Despite that I enjoyed it.

Perfectly researched
You couldn’t get a better fact-finding perfectly researched tale of events. It is done so much better than modern journalists nowadays are about sensationalising to sell stories. James Dommek Junior has done an absolutely superb job

Basically a long podcast
I liked that it wasn’t dragged out too long, but has the style of a podcast, which I don’t mind too much. It was an okay story
