The Only Good Indians: A Novel
From New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones comes a novel that is equal parts psychological horror and cutting social commentary on identity politics and the American Indian experience. Fans of Jordan Peele and Tommy Orange will love this story as it follows the lives of four American Indian men and their families, all haunted by a disturbing, deadly event that took place in their youth. Years later, they find themselves tracked by an entity bent on revenge, totally helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in a violent, vengeful way.

One of the dumbest books I have ever read. It started off unique and just spiraled into wtf territory. I know people will say âoh, but itâs folk horror.â Thatâs all well and good but itâs horrible folk horror.
Dude should have just written a basketball novel and left the horror for others.

Good book. Solid story. Wasn't as scary as i wanted it to be. Definitely depressing. Ending fell a little short in my opinion.
Started out slow and then got very intense very quickly and kept me hooked until the end. Really loved it, and I wish Iâd read it sooner!
I'm not generally a horror fan, but read this as the Halloween choice for a book club. It didn't make much of an impression of me - two months later, I just don't remember much of the book. Most of the book club disliked the book, but I also felt like we didn't know enough about the culture to really appreciate aspects of the book. I did like the Elk Woman character and her need for revenge for the killing of her baby.
I struggled reading this, like the gore was cool and the story was interesting. It was just too wordy for me and I would get lost at times.
