Welcome to Litsy!

This is not an easy book, that mixes real historical horrors and paranormal horror. The first half is quite slow, but very fascinating. The second half is more horror/thriller and action packed. This story is told mostly in journal entries and has three points of view. It is a wholly original vampire tale from an indigenous perspective. If you like historical fiction and/or are fan of this author I definitely recommend.⬇️

Picture a small town in the American west in the year 1912. A Lutheran pastor is visited by a mysterious Piegan man, who claims to be a monster who has committed unforgivable acts and requests to give his confession. The reader learns of how this man transforms into a monster and of his subsequent deeds, which are interwoven with the tale of the Piegan people and of the buffalo they depend on. It is a dark tale of suffering, brutality, and revenge

Friday night splurge. I'm so sad that our indie is moving across the highway in a couple of weeks. I can still get there, but it's a drive rather than a walk (and parking is a pain). I likely won't spend as much at their new location as I have in their current location, but hopefully for them it's a better spot.

Received in my @aardvarkbookclub box today. Have heard only rave reviews, which has me very intrigued. Will probably finish the ILT first. Loved My Heart is a Chainsaw.

The great granddaghter of a Lutheran preacher discover a crumbling old journal recounting the confessions of a Blackfeet man called "Good Stab" recounting how he was turned into a "catman" (vampire) and all the lives he's taken since. But is he really looking for absolution-- or revenge? Incredible work of fiction as always from SGJ. Historical fiction meets horror. I'll include trigger warnings under a spoiler in the comments.

I realized I haven‘t gotten an #aardvarkbookclub pick since November! I‘m always iffy on Jones but I said “Hell with it, maybe I‘ll like this one.” 😊 And while I‘m at it, I‘ll try out a monster romance. 🤪 You only live once.
And I skipped #botm again.
