Indian Burial Ground
by Nick Medina
We first meet Noemi Broussard, who dreams of leaving the reservation and beginning a new life. All of that is shattered when her boyfriend ends up dead from what folks are saying was suicide, but the facts don’t add up. After more than a decade away, her Uncle Louie returns to the reservation and he just might have answers. Missing bones, strange deaths, supernatural occurrences and indigenous folklore about her people & alligators made for an interesting tale.
The tale that unfolds is told in the before and now. The past occurs in the eighties and is told from the voice of a younger Louie and the current from his sister, Noemi. It was a fascinating, spine-tingling tale that unfolded slowly. Admittedly, I struggled with the pacing. The “events” when they occur held me captive, but the in-between bits dragged in spots. As a result, I stopped and started in fits. I almost wonder if I would have done better listening to this one.
I loved the lore and stories about the people and their origin. Medina painted a realistic look at the troubles experienced on the reservation from poverty to alcoholism.
For those looking for a supernatural horror that blends realism, cultural elements and indigenous folklore, I recommend checking out Indian Burial Ground. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
