“What I am is the Indian who can’t die. I’m the worst dream America ever had.”

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter: A Novel by Stephen Graham Jones

April 17, 2026 by ElCicco 3 Comments

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is a wild and bloody novel, and I’ve never read anything quite like it. Stephen Graham Jones takes the vampire story into new territory – late 19th and early 20th century Montana, the Western frontier where whites are violently encroaching and native peoples find their communities and their environment subject to horrendous brutality and destruction. What better or more appropriate way to tell American History than through a horror story. The novel begins in contemporary Wyoming where 42-year-old Communications and Journalism […]

Book 46: Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher Rough Review: 4 stars! It was already official but I’ll say it again – I’ll read anything by Kingfisher/Vernon. Her books are just comfort food to me at this point. Hemlock wasn’t my favourite (the Paladin books are what I discovered first and the world of the White Rat is my favourite Kingfisher place to be), but the concept was cool and intriguingly creepy, I love a neurodiverse-coded protagonist in her mid-30s who gets to have a […]

Talking goats, the common cold and other ways to change history

Earthdivers V01: Kill Columbus by Stephen Graham Jones

Earthdivers V02: Ice Age! by Stephen Graham Jones

October 6, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Time travel books. I like the concept of them and even have enjoyed some time traveling TV shows and movies, and I have even enjoyed some books with the theme. However, they also can confuse the bejimminies out of me. The Earthdivers series had all the good stuff I like about books and time traveling books but also all the pieces that confuse me. And while things are fairly straight forward, when people start to backtrack on themselves, it gets confusing. Part of this is […]

Tough read for animal lovers

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

September 9, 2025 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: O I don’t really consider myself a huge horror reader – I know I definitely read more horror than I watch and yet, when I finished this book, thinking, “this isn’t the horror I normally read,” I also couldn’t think of what I would consider “normal for me” horror. I have read a decent amount of ghost stories and vampire novels but my brain classifies those as supernatural or ghost and vampire stories vs. categories them under the horror label. I’ve read a […]

The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones

The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones

August 31, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

Sigh. Whatever man. At this point I am going to just quit reading Stephen Graham Jones. I don’t want to even hear the words slasher or final girl for the next month until October when I just watch some freaking Jason movies to wipe this whole novel out of my brain. Why did I buy this in paperback?! There’s honestly not much to say here, just like horror movie trilogies, “The Indian Lake Trilogy” went out with a whimper with a lot of, well that […]

I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones

I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones

August 14, 2025 by Classic 2 Comments

This was so boring that I maybe lost my mind a bit. I think that it was just repetitive to the point that it induced sleep. I started this at the beginning of August and I had to keep setting it aside because it was so freaking slow. I am very annoyed that I even bought this book and should have not gotten excited about a story told about being a teenage slasher. SGJ telling the story of what makes a slasher, and the “rules” […]
