 Stephen Graham Jones' Earthdivers peels back the skin of societal oppression, exposing a grim truth—that horror lies not just in one solitary figure, but in the very marrow of systemic malevolence.

Set in a not-so-far-away dystopian future, Earthdivers follows four Indigenous timehoppers as they enact a plan to kill Christopher Columbus and save the world from America. But the journey is anything but easy, moral philosophy and human regret asking the question: what do our actions cost and to whom do we pay the price?
