An unsettling collection of stories that anchor into a heritage too often unheard.

This was a wonderful debut showing a variety of horror and what I truly enjoyed was the story notes on what inspired each story. The rating is due to I want more, I couldn't wait for the next one, although the first story was too short, but each one had its own personality and each story was in the POV of an indigenous person.
Have to say that the last one was kind of my favorite and reminded me of The Children of the Corn.
Please, pick this up, it was a short, but sweet book of tales and am looking forward to more from this author.

What a fantastic collection of short fiction! These stories were disturbing in the best possible way. Every single one had me so intrigued and horrified, "flipping" the pages of my e-reader so freaking fast. If I had to pick favorites, it'd be Imitate and Dead America. Oh boy were those two just the pinnacle of creepy!
