Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology by Shane Hawk, Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.
dark
mysterious
tense
slow-paced
4.0
These stories range from horror folklore to psychological thrill to humanitarian issues. I liked the range, but sometimes going from a spooky story to one that enraged me was not
the route I wanted to take.
Each story is written well, but depending on the subject matter I liked some more than others and wished their stories were longer.
A handful of my favorite stories:
Kushtuka
Quantum
Hunger
Snakes are Born in the Dark
Collections
Limbs
Something that I like to do while reading is listen to music or other sounds. This book read well with a fire sounds playlist playing in the
background.
As a dark fiction collection, be in a good headspace before reading. There are themes of:
Murder
Gore
Abuse (physical and sexual, both for adults and children)
Misogyny and sexism
Racism
Kidnapping
Miscarriage
Drug use and foul language
This is just the surface. Please be in a good headspace or look up individual story's warnings. No need to upset yourself ❤️
