pickThere is nothing more horrific than the violence humans can inflict on each other, something Jones understands well. Good Stab is a Blackfeet Indian of unnaturally long life & from the moment he starts telling his story to the Lutheran pastor of a church in Montana, this tension filled, violent story wends its way towards an inevitable, heartbreaking end. As the dust jacket says, this is an American Indian revenge story & it is a fantastic read.

This was an incredibly well written, incredibly disturbing historical horror novel. Told through journal Arthur Beaucarne wrote in 1912 that was found and transcribed by his great great granddaughter in 2012. Arthur records a series of interviews with Good Stab who describes his transformation into a vampire.
The old fashioned language made it a little difficult to get into the early chapters, but the story pulled me in.

Awesome book mail day. Very excited about the tagged book, Jones is an “automatic buy, drop everything and start reading the new book” author for me. I‘ll Love You Forever is a memoir about being a K-pop fan and it‘s blurbed by Alexander Chee so I‘m expecting an interesting read. Omniscient Reader‘s Viewpoint is a fantastic manhwa about the only reader of an online book discovering that the world has been plunged into the world of that novel.
so-soOh man I wanted to like this so much more than I did. I really, really struggled with the language SGJ has chosen to use throughout. I am reading the ARC so it is possible a solid edit could bring this to a more coherent modern place. Or maybe I am just not smart enough. I really struggled with one of the characters being called Etsy every time I thought it was the marketplace website 🤣
The concept and characters are fantastic though.
