This is an American Indian revenge story written by one of the new masters of horror, Stephen Graham Jones.

This book was so many things rolled into one, complex and thought provoking characters, in an epic gothic horror blended with historical fiction. It’s dark, twisted and violent however that is what makes this book exactly WHAT it is.
I struggled to rate this one because the story (for me) was difficult to follow, bouncing between multiple POVs who all tell their story in very different ways, so it didn’t feel greatly cohesive, however it was engrossing and I can absolutely appreciate the amount of research that clearly went in to making this book as accurate as possible.
Many thank yous to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of this book. I would put money on this being a best-seller when it hits the shelves.
