This book follows four childhood friends ten years after an elk hunt gone wrong. Some of them leave the rez, while others stay, and the spirit of Elk Head Woman is seeking revenge against them all. The book has blood and gore, thrilling chase scenes and suspenseful psychological horror. But Graham Jones’ nuanced writing also shows the terror of a father being alienated from his daughter or finding yourself the only Indian outside a bar at night.
