This anthology features a really broad array of dark fiction from indigenous authors. A lot of the stories are really good, though just like with any anthology there were a few that I just didn't care for. I also felt like I expected it to be a bit more horror-focused, when there were a few stories that were about horrible things (I'm thinking specifically about one that focuses on a man's desire to get revenge on the priest that raped in him a boarding school).
Graphic: Pedophilia, Sexual violence, Gun violence, Violence, Gore, Body horror, Death, and Murder
