A review by bgoodbookclub
Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology by Shane Hawk, Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.

dark mysterious tense

3.5

I read this on my Kindle and also listened via audiobook. I was very torn on what to rate this and decided upon 3.5 because the hard stories were very hard to listen to.

These stories range from eerie to dark, from imaginative to realistic, from gory to concerning. They were all so interesting, with some I really enjoyed and some I almost skipped. Some focus more on lore and seem further from reality while some are painfully realistic. 

Overall, I think I liked the book but some of these stories were very hard to read and listen to. 

I enjoyed the short story format because it kept it interesting and made it easy for me to pick it up and read a quick story and feel like I had a good spot to leave off on for next time.

Some of these stories are pretty disturbing so I would make sure to check content warnings because there are some big ones here!

Thank you to NetGalley for my digital copy and PRH for my audio copy!
