Still processing this one, but WOW—what a ride! Nick Medina delivers a masterclass in storytelling with Indian Burial Ground, expertly weaving together multiple POVs and timelines into a gripping, dark narrative that kept me hooked from start to finish.
I absolutely love stories that shift between the past and present, and Medina handles it beautifully. The perspectives of the two main characters felt so authentic and compelling, and the way their journeys intertwined was nothing short of brilliant.
The overarching Native mythology was a standout for me—rich, haunting, and deeply rooted in cultural significance. But what truly sets this story apart is Medina’s ability to weave in the real-world struggles of alcoholism and suicide, grounding the supernatural elements in raw, human emotion. It’s a story that leaves you feeling sad yet hopeful, which is no small feat.
This book is as thought-provoking as it is chilling, and it’s one I know will stay with me for a long time. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves layered, impactful storytelling!
