Never whistle at night : an Indigenous dark fiction anthology  Cover Image Book Book

Never whistle at night : an Indigenous dark fiction anthology / edited by Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst Jr., editors.

Hawk, Shane, (editor.). Van Alst, Theodore C., 1965- (editor.). Jones, Stephen Graham, 1972- (writer of the introduction.).

Summary:

"Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief ranges far and wide and takes many forms; for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Huakaipo, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls a Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl and snatch the foolish whistlers in the dark. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear - and even follow you home. In twenty-five wholly original and shiver-inducing tales, bestselling and award-winning authors including Tommy Orange, Rebecca Roanhorse, Cherie Dimaline, Waubgeshig Rice, and Mona Susan Power introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples' survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon."-- Provided by publisher.
