NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology

Fearsome creatures, dangerous spirits, and horrifying humans abound in this riveting collection of stories written by 26 Indigenous authors and performed by 9 Indigenous narrators. Sheldon Elter's matter-of-fact portrayal of a frustrated son transforms into very believable terror in Cherie Dimaline's "Tick Talk." Tara Sky's youthful voice enlivens two disturbingly realistic stories of white people manipulating Indigenous girls and women with unsettling sincerity. Shane Ghostkeeper narrates in a steady, gravelly voice, giving a mesmerizing performance of Shane Hawk's tale of possession, "Behind Colin's Eyes." Fear is audible in Erin Tripp's rendition of D.H. Trujillo's surreal "Snakes Are Born In The Dark." Listeners will find stories full of horror and fear--yet community, humor, and joy abound.
