The Only Good Indians
By Stephen Graham Jones
.
Genre: Horror / Thriller
MY REVIEW
Four young Blackfeet men, while hunting, make a devastating choice. What happens will have echoing impacts for years after.
The choice they made came back to bite them in the rear end. Now the men are fighting something bent on revenge. It’s attempts at retribution get darker, deadlier and they soon realize they aren’t equipped to deal with it. And dark it gets. I was seriously creeped out. In part because, with all of the horror movies I watch, I kept envisioning the elk creature as a Wendigo.
In the beginning I didn’t feel sorry for the men. They got greedy and did something awful. But then I got thinking, they were young and dumb. Perhaps now that they have become adults, started families, if they had the chance to maker better choices, they’d do so. Then, I quit thinking and wanted to run and hide along with them. How do you hide, though. It can find you anywhere and won’t be stopped.
The Only Good Indians was an emotional, chilling, relentless experience with a brutal lesson. I read it straight through, at night, all alone and once I was finished the story wasn’t finished with me. It lingered. I loved that.
