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.

When I chose to list to this book, I thought it was going to be a true crime story. After some time listening, it started to sound like it may have a political or possibly a religious message embedded as well. As the end was approaching, I began to wonder if the writer knew any more about what this story was supposed to be than I did. After finishing this story, I believe I was satisfying mislead, and also slightly disappointed with the lack of direction.

The amazing story of a man whose dreams took him to Hollywood but whose demons brought him home to stay. The writer/narrator tells an intriguing story that recounts the crimes committed and the possible connection to a mythical lost race.

This author writes a true story about one of his fellow tribe members and the experience he had with white man's law in combination with a mostly mystical and very elusive Alaskan tribe. Personally, I could have done with far fewer F-Bombs, but it is probably a realistic representation of how these folks talk. I recommend this book.

Very credible insight into a little known culture.

I visited Alaska in June 2019. One of my favorite parts was a visit to the Alaska Native Heritage Center. I learned so much in a few hours. This story was another learning experience about culture and about the story we all live to tell. Thanks

Being part of the story

Interesting story. I appreciated that the author made himself part of the experience by explaining his personal connections with the people involved, but he went off on an odd tangent at the end in what I assume was an attempt to conclude a somewhat anticlimactic journey.

Good (until the last 10 mins)

What a great way to learn about the Inuit people in today’s world! The sometimes brutal language used led credence to the story. I enjoyed listening to James Dommek Jr. as he wove his narrative around Teddy Smith’s tragic life. His rich accent was a pleasure to hear as helped bring to life the story. What an excellent choice to use your own voice! #AwesomeNarration #Nonfiction #Inuit #Folktale #ShortStory

Great Story. Awesome Narration

Terrible non informative. Not interesting pointless story. I lived in Alaska for 3 years in the Navy so I felt it would be interesting. NOT!
Lots of dead air space for dramatic pause reasons I suppose. Sucks
Glad it was free
