Jones crafted an eerie and at times straight-up frightening novel in The Only Good Indians, about when the past comes back to haunt us. I can also promise you that you’ll never look at an elk the same way again. In Empire of Wild, Dimaline tackles the mythology of werewolves and shifters with Little Red Riding Hood flair, as a woman investigates her husband’s disappearance and his bizarre, newfound identity. The horror is different here, relying on slow, building tension as readers try to suss out what is real and what isn’t. As book-lovers, when we find a niche that really works for us, the natural progression is to find more to read. If you loved either, or both, of the above books, or just want new voices to read in horror, here are four more additions to the First Nations and Indigenous horror genre.
