Oh wow. I thought I understood how horrific the colonizers (Americans) were to the Native people who lived (and still live) on these lands, but I was wrong. One may go into this book thinking the horror aspect of it lies within the vampirism and gore but it isn't -- it lies in the systematic ecocide and genocide of the people we ignore daily in America. I highly recommend researching the events that happen within this book while reading as it adds a whole new layer to the horror: that layer being that this really happened. Native blood was the price that was paid for our country to form and it's truly stomach churning.
I docked a star because I really wanted to bang my head against a wall every time I read an Etsy chapter (which was only two but still).
There's so much to be said about this book but I lack the language so I'll leave you will this passage on gluttony: Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. Philippians 3:19
