This was my first Stephen Graham Jones and I'm kicking myself for not discovering this masterful writer much much sooner; this book is a sweeping (three timelines: 1912, 2012, and 19870) horror of revenge and torture with such absolutely well-crafted 3-dimensional characters that will haunt my mind's hallways for decades. I learned about the massacre of Piegan/Pikani Blackfeet Indians and the sadness of the humps and the hunting of and by "cat-man" throughout the book will give you shivers. The visual of a vampire ("cat-man") who evolves into the appearance of the victim's characteristics is ingenious, because of course, if you drain the blood of several buffaloes or Pikani Indians, how could your features not begin to change?
AND I'm telling you, read this as an audiobook. The production and narration simply elevates this book!
