The Only Good Indians (2020)
By Stephen Graham Jones
Four members of the Blackfeet Nation are hunted down by a vengeful animal spirit.
Itโs an emotional, dark and violent story with shocking gruesome consequences for our characters.

Jaded characters, fraying traditions, nail-biting b-ball, and a creature determined to hold it all to account. Grimace through the horror tropes and you've got a great novel.

Jones's novel offers plenty of tense moments and genuine contemporary characters--and probably the best "sports" scene in a horror novel--but struggles to too predictable horror plot tropes.

Coming highly recommended, the novel already has a critical edge similar to Tommy Orange, but otherwise is an uneasy mix of the psychological and supernatural with a powerful point of view experiment.
