Tsalagi should never have to live on human blood, but sometimes things just happen to sixteen-year-old girls. Following one extended Cherokee family across the centuries, from the tribe’s homelands in Georgia in the 1830s to World War I, the Vietnam War, our own present, and well into the future, each story delivers a slice of a particular time period. Alongside each story, Cherokee artist and language technologist Jeff Edwards delivers illustrations that incorporate Cherokee syllabary.

this short horror story collection follows one extended cherokee family through the centuries, from the 1830s to decades in the future. this was such an interesting concept and i loved the accompanying illustrations before each story. i also found myself flipping back to the family tree at the beginning to make sure i was following along with how each character was related, with characters in the same story and in other stories. i loved that these stories followed members of the same family as we didn’t have to completely say goodbye to all of the characters as their story ended.
