The New York Times bestseller and “horror masterpiece” (NPR) from Stephen Graham Jones—the master of modern horror—is a chilling historical horror novel tracing the life of a vampire who haunts the fields of the Blackfeet reservation looking for justice.
“Jones has written his Interview with the Indigenous Vampire. A landmark of horror and historical fiction alike, perhaps the closest thing we have to horror’s Moby-Dick.” —Vulture
“Inventive and spine-tingling…a master class in voice. Queasy, uneasy, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter plays with the interplay between religion and historical guilt, identity and appetite.” —The Washington Post
A diary, written in 1912 by a Lutheran pastor is discovered within a wall. What it unveils is a slow massacre, a chain of events that go back to 217 Blackfeet dead in the snow. Told in transcribed interviews by a Blackfeet named Good Stab, who shares the narrative of his peculiar life over a series of confessional visits. This is an American Indian revenge story written by one of the new masters of horror, Stephen Graham Jones.
Reviews
Awful in Every Way
1By Wolfhow1This is one of the worst books I have ever read. The graphic detailed suffering of almost everyone in the book is not frightening or tension building, only disgusting. The plot is drawn out. The writing is stilted. The slaughter is ridiculous. Like John Wick with two extra arms to murder more people. It beats me how Barack could have been a fan.WOW
5By AtomicCougjust sink into this book and savor it. Then repeat.It’s a bit long
4By CokaCola707I like itAn adventure
4By areyoufinkiddingmeI’m usually not much for fantasy, but is a very good story. Though the chapters are incredibly longgggg. I’m also still not quite sure what a big-mouth is nor how would one drink little grass-eaters, but I think I figured out the rest. I reside just a mere ninety mins from Stanton, Tx and currently nine minutes from Texas Tech (I do actually read the acknowledgments.) Long live the Red Raiders and of course the Blackfeet.
