SGJ does it again. This twisting tale from the early 20th century in recently minted Montana-as-a-state brings Blackfoot stories to bare on vampires. As usual SGJ wows and opens the genre to a new kind of horror: the kind that keeps you wondering what’s watching you from the dark, gives you insight into the terror a 19th and early 20th century guilty as all hell Lutheran pastor feels when confronted with his literal and metaphoric imperialist and expansionist demons. 

For the fantastic writing, narrative weaving, and epistolary style, you’ll just have to read it.
