I truly enjoyed the Horror of this novel. It was very much an American Indian tale but a much better than the flat stereotypes I usually encounter. Four friends have to pay for what they did wrong on a Elk hunt ten years ago. The suspense and horror was excellent. The characters were both likable and not, real people not generalizations. The writing was wonderful. The first victim basically goes slowly insane from paranoia and the realization of what is coming. This was a perfect set up of fear for the other victims both innocent and guilty. This book has elements of racism, maternal instinct and deep Indian cultural beliefs. I will be looking this author in the future. Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for this arc. Stephen Graham Jones, keep the great horror coming!

Stephen Graham Jones has never let me down. Everything he writes just glows and sticks with you. This was a very haunting tale about guilt and our minds, how the two combined can be our undoing. Being native American this was a terrifying story,but will be to anyone, no matter your heritage. Highly recommend.

5 Stars. Stephen Graham Jones has done it again; he wrote a terrifying book that had me biting my nails and quickly turning pages. I can safely say that he is my all-time favorite horror author and this is one of his best.

This is a story about a vengeful elk. A group of friends shot at a herd of elk, causing a pregnant elk to die. She came back to seek revenge on them and their children, including their beloved dogs.

The violence is well written; gory but not excessive. The scenes described actions the characters were making in a way that felt like it could be turned into a Netflix movie. I wonder if someone has bought the movie rights to this yet.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy of this ebook in exchange for an unbiased review.

I really wanted to like this novel and was so incredibly stoked to start it... unfortunately, I just could not get into it. All the stars seems aligned for me with this one; it is all about some of my biggest interests and it is one of my favorite genres. But I found it to read a little bit clunky and some of the train of thought was just too slow to get through.
