Set in 1912 The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is a gruesome historical horror novel about a Lutheran Priest, Native Americans and a man turned into a monster.

I found Stephen Graham Jones’ writing to be quite addicting here. This is not a typical type of story for me, I don’t read historical horror, but it was a captivating story. Reading about the Native Americans stories made me want to dive into the history on my own time. Some of this story is based on the Marias Massacre in 1870,  I would suggest reading about that before or during your reading of this novel. What drew me to the story was the vampire and he did not disappoint. He was a terrifying, horrific monster and some of his chapters were difficult to read. There are some really horrific scenes in this story. What made them more scary was some of it is based on real events.  I liked reading the journal articles from the lutheran Priest’s perspective and how he navigated dealing with the vampire.

This is a long book that is sometimes difficult to get through. Some of the violence meshed together a bit and the end was a little strange for me, I could have done without the chapters with the journalist at the end. Overall, if you are up for a wild ride  are a Stephen Graham Jones fan then I would pick this up.
