A review by caitlynischeckedout
Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology by Shane Hawk, Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.

4.0

I averaged out my ratings for each of the 26 stories and then rounded up a smidge to 4.0 as I really enjoyed this collection. There’s a range of horror included from supernatural to interpersonal situations to colonization as a whole. The messages in the stories were powerful and well written, and I often felt strong emotions as I read. And that cover? So beautiful. 

My standout favorites were: 
  • Kushtuka by Mathilda Zeller
  • Hunger by Phoenix Boudreau 
  • Before I Go by Norris Black
  • Behind Colin’s Eyes by Shane Hawk
  • Dead Owls by Mona Susan Power
  • The Scientist’s Horror Story by Darcie Little Badger
