The Only Good Indians

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones, 310 pages

Ten years after leaving his home on the Blackfeet reservation in northern Montana, Lewis has settled into his life as a postal worker in Great Falls. He has a wife, a dog, a motorcycle that he's constantly rebuilding, and a decent life. But it seems that his life on the reservation doesn't want to let him go, particularly an illegal elk hunt with his friends that still haunts Lewis. When odd things start happening, Lewis becomes convinced that the spirits he offended a decade earlier is coming back to mete out its revenge, and it's unlikely to stop at him.

This is a beautifully told story of harsh life on the reservation and in rural central Montana, interwoven with a truly disturbing horror story. Absolutely amazing.
