Praise for Never Whistle at Night:
NATIONAL BESTSELLER


“All combined, these powerful pages use fantastical elements to create very human characters who suffer very real horrors, like oppression, poverty, abuse, mental illness and the erasure of long-existing cultures and traditions. This volume is a must for any library collection and will be devoured by speculative fiction fans who enjoy a sprinkle of social commentary within their scary books.” —Booklist

Never Whistle at Night is all I’ve ever wanted in an Indigenous horror anthology. From doubles, to Empty People, to story theft, to zombies, this anthology explores the horror that lives in colonial violence, generational love and trauma, and our everyday lives. It’s a joy to see such a diverse representation of experience, background, and style in this carefully curated and terrifying collection.”
Jessica Johns, author of Bad Cree

“Story to story, Never Whistle at Night never failed to surprise, delight, and shock me. I’m a big fan of stories that make you feel like you’re standing at the edge of a cliff with a stranger’s fingers on the tip of your spine—and this anthology has that ungoverned, go-for-broke aesthetic that I love.”
Nick Cutter, author of Little Heaven

“The combination of folklore and the travails of contemporary life is potent. Hard-edged and dread-inducing, Never Whistle at Night showcases major horror talent.”
Laird Barron, author of The Wind Began to Howl

“An extensive collection of Indigenous stories ranging from the humorous to the terrifying, this anthology is a must-read for everyone. Your new favorite author is absolutely in this book.”
Amina Akhtar, author of Kismet

“Melodious, haunting, and visceral, Never Whistle at Night enchants from the very start with fiery confidence and merciless ghosts. These are stories that dig their fingers inside you and carve something truly special. An absolute must-read.”
Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth

“Can you draw power from the spirit of a story? If the twenty-six tales in the essential Never Whistle at Night anthology are any indication, the answer is an emphatic yes. The title itself provides its own warning, but I'll go one step further: Never read this collection of spine-chilling stories alone at night. You just might not make it to morning.”
Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters

“Never Whistle at Night [is] a groundbreaking anthology showcasing Indigenous horror stories that challenge and redefine the genre.” —Locus Magazine

“[Never Whistle at Night] brilliantly celebrates the range and energy of Indigenous writing about haunted Native America.” LA Review of Books

Reviews

Not what I was expecting

"This book wasn't what I was expecting but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good. I am about halfway through and can only read a little at a time because I am not the bravest horror fan. So I think it will take me a while to make it to the end. Great collection of stories and well written."

Rhys (4/5)

🌟 Wonderful

"I l9ve a good folkore story and this book did not disappoint. Growing up in northern Manitoba I'd heard many indigenous stories growing up and this read was a new prespective on the different regions."

CeeDawn (5/5)

"Such a unique collection, would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys dark storylines. Support indigenous creators!"

Chantel (5/5)

Really good anthology

"It's a good little anthology book covering a wide range of themes"

Jarett (5/5)

Good title

"A good read but it isn’t as scary as described by pundits. Nevertheless it is a page turner and opens up the discussion about First Nations spiritually."

John L. (4/5)

Great way to discover new authors and learn about Indigenous legends

"I enjoyed discovering a whole slew of new authors by reading these well written short stories. The fact that many of them incorporate Indigenous legends and beliefs made for completely new plot lines and twists in the stories. I enjoyed discovering new perspectives."

Chantal (4/5)

Must read

"As with most anthologies, some of the stories were more impactful than others but overall, with strong writing, vivid imagery, and superb storytelling this is an impressive collection of stories that I would not hesitate to recommend to fans of indigenous fiction that tends towards darker themes. I also enjoyed the Foreword written by Stephen Graham Jones which gives us insight into the theme behind the collection. Many of the authors whose works featured in this collection were new to me and I’m glad for the opportunity to have been introduced to their work. I look forward to reading more from these talented writers in the future. Finally, I love the cover art!"

Tamara (5/5)

Couldn’t get into it

"I was really excited to read this but I just couldn’t get into it. I read about 1/3 of the stories and I felt they were underdeveloped and felt rushed. I put it back on my shelf and I will try again in the future."
