Some Family Secrets Are Better Left Buried

Luckily for us, this one wasn’t. The last time I was held captive like this was reading The Only Good Indians. Stephen Graham Jones has a way with words and an even better way at stringing them all together. Here with his latest, Buffalo Hunter Hunter, he teases us with a found diary then transports us back to the all too true horror of the Marias Massacre in 1870s Montana, then paints the history that follows with one of the most unique and creepy vampires the West has ever seen. The story itself is amazing. So why not five stars? It is a little slow in places. Perhaps that’s from the epistolary form of the novel. But don't let that stop you. It also adds much making it one of the most creative and interesting tales I've read this year. 

Who else has read it? What did you think?
