Stephen Graham Jones’s wonderful contemporary gothic tale starts with a crime, when four young Blackfeet men trespass on the part of their reservation set aside for the tribe’s elders and shoot into a herd of elk. One of the dying elk was pregnant and in the rest of the novel she returns – in their imaginations, in their guilty consciences, in reality? – to wreak her revenge. And it’s riveting. If you are a fan of audiobooks, this is a terrific one to listen to, as actor Shaun Taylor-Corbett’s narration is as pitch-perfect as Jones’s text.
