Indian Burial Ground
by Nick Medina
finished copy gifted by the publisher
Noemi Broussard is looking for a fresh start until she learns of her boyfriend's suicide. Coinciding with her uncle Louie's return to the reservation after decades, the duo must decide if there's something menacing within the tribal lands or if they want to keep the secrets buried.
Alternating between the two MCs' timelines, GROUND is a poignant yet painful story that examines alcoholism, mental health, and poverty within Native communities. Medina seamlessly weaves mythology and generational trauma into this powerful tale. I was more invested in Louie's teenage years as he assumed an adult's responsibility and hoped for more mystery elements from Noemi's narrative. While there are imperfections with pacing, the use of psychological burden manifesting as a horror story is ingenious.
