The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones
4.0

A bit of magical realism mixed with ancient culture and horror come together to give us The Only Good Indians. A well written horror story that pairs with the notion of respecting ancient tradition. It also shows that our actions are like dropping a pebble in pond, the ripples reach far beyond what we consider.

This book follows for friends, who are being hunted by the indiscretions of their youth. Traditions are in place for a reason we these four Blackfeet will come to learn. This haunting is not limited to the reservation where they all grew up; but it will end there one way or another.
