Stephen Graham Jones + vampires!
In 1912 a strange confession is given, over several nights, to a Lutheran priest who transcribes the life of a vampire who haunted the fields of the Blackfeet reservation, looking for justice.
HISTORICAL HORROR: Many of the most popular breakout horror hits of the past few years have been historical. Fans of Mexican Gothic, Lone Women, The Reformatory, and The Hacienda will be thrilled to see Jones tackle the history of the Blackfeet tribe in the post-Civil War west.
VAMPIRES ARE BACK: Everyone loves a good vampire story, and they seem to be having their first post-Twilight resurgence. Ali Hazelwood's Bride, Isabel Cañas's The Vampires of El Norte, and Jacqueline Holland's God of Endings have all contributed to the new age of the vampire. Along with a recent TV adaptation of Interview with a Vampire and the popularity of shows like What We Do In The Shadows and A Discovery of Witches, it's clear that people are still drawn to a good vampire story.
INDIGENOUS HORROR: For the past few years, Stephen Graham Jones has been focused on the concept of the slasher, first, with his Indian Lake trilogy and then with I Was a Teenage Slasher. Now he's exploring new themes in a return to the dialogue he's had with horror tropes and the American Indian experience, much like he did with The Only Good Indians.
