Editors Hawk (
Copyright 2024 Library Journal.Anoka: A Collection of Indigenous Horror ) and Van Alst (Sacred Smokes ), both fiction writers in their own right, offer an anthology of spine-tingling tales of hauntings, curses, and other horrors, written by prominent Indigenous authors (including Tommy Orange, Cherie Dimaline, and Brandon Hobson) and presented in audio by a talented ensemble of nine Indigenous narrators. Stephen Graham Jones's prologue, narrated by Sheldon Elter, sets the stage, providing a window into the craft of Indigenous horror. Some of the stories that follow, such as D.H. Trujillo's "Snakes Are Born in the Dark," detail supernatural terror; others, such as Kelli Jo Ford's "Heart-Shaped Clock," highlight real-life horrors, including intergenerational trauma and abuse. Through the anthology's body horror, hauntings, and supernatural creatures, listeners will also encounter the terrible legacy wrought by colonialism and forced assimilation. The large cast of narrators differentiates the stories, signaling changes in mood, tone, and approach and allowing listeners to hear the varied voices and personalities detailed within.VERDICT A collection of Indigenous horror stories that offers something for every listener, from quietly unsettling tales to gruesome body horror. Don't miss it.âElyssa Everling
