This collection of interconnected stories by Cherokee author Andrea L. Rogers will appeal to teens as well as adults. Following the same family tree over 200 years, these tales of horror range from historical to futuristic and feature tropes and characters both feared and beloved. Strong female leads are abundant and Cherokee language is speckled throughout (glossary included). Man Made Monsters is the perfect decolonized spooky read.
