So creepy and some stories really have stuck with me (like I need them to leave me alone lmao), but this is a great dark fictional book to read during October/Halloweenie/autumn in general. I loved finding new indigenous authors to read from. I always appreciate commentary on how the real horrors are colonization, settler violence, and white supremacy.
My favorites were:
- "Kushtuka" by Mathilda Zeller
- “The Scientist’s Horror Story” by Darcie Little Badger
- “White Hills” by Rebecca Roanhorse
- "Dead Owls" by Mona Susan Power
- "Capgras" by Tommy Orange
- "Heart-Shaped Clock" by Kelli Jo Ford

Also worth noting, it's specifically stories about indigenous people from far north America.
As an anthology some stories are better than others, a couple are quite good.
