Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology by Shane Hawk, Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.
dark
emotional
mysterious
tense
I learned something about myself while reading this, and it’s that short story collections are not my favorite, lol, but that’s not a reflection of the quality of writing in ANY way!!
I found the overwhelming majority of these stories to be really gripping, I just had to adjust how I read this book to accommodate for my difficulty maintaining interest. What that meant was limiting myself to one or two stories per day, instead of trying to sit and push through large chunks of the book at a time.
Some of the stories I liked so much I looked up other works by the same author, and ALL of the stories felt important in their own ways, aside from their ability to give you chills. They left me thinking about them for days after.
I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates horror or Indigenous stories.
