Stephen Graham Jones, The Buffalo Hunter HunterRead about another novel on the list.
A historical novel with dual timelines in 2012 and 1912, this story follows a modern-day professor, Etsy, as she transcribes the diary of her great-great-great grandfather, a Montana pastor named Arthur. The narrative dives deeper into the past based on the entries of Arthur’s diary, which center around an array of confessions given by a vigilante Pikuni man named Good Stab, who’s been turned into a vampiric creature driven by guilt and a need for justice for the violent wrongs committed against his people.
Utilizing the frigid, snowy Montana frontier, this story vividly explores the horrors of colonization and the generational scars that long-linger.
The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is among Erica Ezeifedi's six books to read if you loved the movie Sinners and V.E. Schwab's five top modern vampire novels.
