The author very graciously sent me a copy for my reading pleasure. This is a horror novella from Native American mythology. I have always loved mythology, so getting to see some from a history I don't know much about was very cool to me.

This novel starts off at a pace that's 100% right from the first sentence. At only 81 pages, this novella packs in horror, both bodily and monstrous, a masterful twist, action, and heart. It is both retelling the mythology for a new age, and also still tackling the race issues of the period. While not going into incredible detail on it, it certainly doesn't shy away. 

Overall, I'm never really sure where I stand on unreliable narrators. But within this story itself, everything is so up in the air as to what's really happening, that it really worked on me, and it fit nicely. In a way reminiscent of Agatha Christie's doctor in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, this one might have converted me a bit here. There's a snake in the grass.  

Absolutely worth a buy, digital or physical. The cover is cool, so there's nothing wrong with this one being on your shelf. Perfect for horror fans looking for a quick, sickening read!
