Description

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From Stephen Graham Jones, the master of modern horror and New York Times bestselling author of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, a novel of revenge and identity hailed by Stephen King as “thrilling, literate, scary, immersive” that is equal parts psychological horror and cutting sociopolitical commentary about the American Indian experience.

From New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones comes a novel that is equal parts psychological horror and cutting social commentary on identity politics and the American Indian experience. Fans of Sylvia Moreno Garcia and Tommy Orange will love this story as it follows the lives of four American Indian men and their families, all haunted by a disturbing, deadly event that took place in their youth. Years later, they find themselves tracked by an entity bent on revenge, totally helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in a violent, vengeful way.

In this “thrilling, literate, scary, [and] immersive” (Stephen King) tale, Jones blends his signature storytelling style with a haunting narrative that masterfully intertwines revenge, cultural identity, and tradition.

    The beginning was a bit difficult for me to get into but once the story with Lewis happened I couldn’t put the book down.

    If your native this book is for you! It reminded me of listening to my uncle tell me an old story with a great punch line and lesson. I highly recommend this to all. Even if you’re not native it’s a great spooky read. Always remember your actions carry consequences 🤙🏽❤️

    This book had its hooks in me. After part 1 of the novel I was absolutely floored and could not put the book down. Fantastic story that really surprised me and really did not let me down. The final sequence still sits with me months after reading.

  • Scary enough!

    Worth the read. Kept my interest. There were a few plot holes that irked me but nothing bad enough to ruin the story. It was definitely creepy, a few times I had to put it down and walk away, but sometimes that’s what makes a good scary book. I’m glad I read it, but I probably wouldn’t read it again.

    I love this book. I’ll read it again once I’ve had some time to let it simmer. It gave me mental whiplash. A book of anti-heroes.

  • Creepy, but hard to follow

    This book was pretty creepy, but it was extremely hard to follow. I found some parts of the book didn’t fully grab my attention. While the book wasn’t a “I couldn’t put it down” type, I did find myself wondering what happens next.

  • Fantastic read. Wonderfully written.

    This book just draws you right in and holds you close. The whole time you’re horrified at what’s unfolding you also have this shard of melancholy tucked right up in your chest. Don’t skip this read!

  • I hated it.

    Awful, confusing. Violent and poorly written.
