TheSpineView I think there are two more books before we get to the book dedicated to Blay and Quinn. It will be worth the wait. 3d

Robotswithpersonality

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter | Stephen Graham Jones

pick

I understand that given the setting and the plot that historical horror is how this book will be described, but my main feelings were not dread or disgust but sadness and anger.
Abhorrent deeds from history are retold, the reader is well-placed by the author in a position to look on helpless, infuriated that it is occurring, grief-stricken by so much loss, and yet suspecting some internal bias, blood connection, makes them complicit. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? While there are a heart-breaking number of innocents suffering in this story, Jones makes clear the main characters are not included in the guilt-free tally.
Good Stab/Fullblood/Takes No Scalps echoes a motif from The Only Good Indians, he chose to do something against his beliefs, culture, society, knowing it was wrong. It's short term gain vs long term curse, and yes, he was in even more disadvantaged straits than TOGI's protagonists, 6d

Robotswithpersonality 3/? due to white colonialism, systemic racism, but I think the message remains: there is value in being true to yourself even when things are shitty. That you'll pay the price if you take the easier path in desperate circumstances.
Which of is, of course, even clearer, in the much less ambiguously evil actions perpetrated by Beaucarne in his own self-described desperate circumstances.
For both characters, the focus on appetite is paramount: 6d

Robotswithpersonality 4/? the vampire's thirst almost an entity in itself, an ungovernable force, and the more you learn about the pastor, the more grotesque his relishing of his meals, his willingness to trade alcohol or food for information, becomes, knowing hunger played a pivotal role in his unforgivable actions.
The pace doesn't plod, it stalks, it might seem slow, but there's a definite deliberate creeping up on you of hints and foreboding. 6d

See All 6 Comments

Robotswithpersonality 5/? A sense of loss permeates everything, even Esty's framing sections, her academic future, her sense of self, her cat, are all in a precarious state. Good Stab's losses hit the hardest though, it may have been at least one action of his own human volition that first distanced him from his people, but it's a new wound everytime he tries to reconnect after his dark transformation, tries to adopt some signifier of this former life and it isn't 6d

Robotswithpersonality 6/6 possible or outright harms him, rejects him. Tries to save his people over and over and often ends with the opposite. The suggestion of acceptance, of regaining an identity at the end is that much more poignant as a result.
If you're emotionally prepared, It's an incredible book I highly recommend, and I can't wait to see what Jones comes out with next. ♥️
