The Only Good Indians is such a compelling and gripping horror story once you get into it. The beginning is a little slow, and the author makes you work to decipher his writing style - but it pays off to figure out the rhythm of it. I especially liked the various POV shifts and the importance of even the most miniscule details. Will definitely be reading more by Stephen Graham Jones.

This was such a challenging book to read, but so worth it! It’s such a unique take on the vengeful spirit horror tale, especially because we get the perspective of the spirit herself and her reasons for going on this rampage against the main characters. I loved the way it ended and it’s crazy to see where the story ended up from where it started. A very gripping story and i couldn’t put it down.
