Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology by Shane Hawk, Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.
4.25
An anthology of short stories with 26 different creepy & dark short stories by Indigenous authors.
I enjoyed it but I have the same criticism for this as I did for the other horror anthology I read before this one. I understand wanting to include as many voices and stories as possible, but I still think that quality is more important than quantity. If they could have trimmed it down and curated it more to present a smaller of batch of stronger stories with more thematic cohesion, it would have been a much stronger anthology. A lot of stories were great, but some were barely even memorable.
Overall still recommend because it's always worth it to read stories that draw on something outside the usual Eurocentric canon
