When Mackenzie wakes up with a severed crow's head in her hands, she panics. Only moments earlier she had been fending off masses of birds in a snow-covered forest. In bed, when she blinks, the head disappears. Night after night, Mackenzie’s dreams return her to a memory from before her sister Sabrina’s untimely death: a weekend at the family’s lakefront campsite, long obscured by a fog of guilt. But when the waking world starts closing in, too—a murder of crows stalks her every move around the city, she wakes up from a dream of drowning throwing up water, and gets threatening text messages from someone claiming to be Sabrina—Mackenzie knows this is more than she can handle alone. Traveling north to her rural hometown in Alberta, she finds her family still steeped in the same grief that she ran away to Vancouver to escape. They welcome her back, but their shaky reunion only seems to intensify her dreams—and make them more dangerous. **What really happened that night at the lake, and what did it have to do with Sabrina’s death?** Only a bad Cree would put their family at risk, but what if whatever has been calling Mackenzie home was already inside?

These are available in my Instagram Stories and in our Community Discord! (Join now if you haven't already!)\\ \\ I had so much difficulty limiting this to 25 books, so if you fear your favorite female author is missing, don't! There will definitely be more rounds of this game!\\ \\ I was STUNNED to see that with a total of 191 works being nominated for the Stoker Award best novel that only 26 WOMEN have been nominated since inception! (33 total as some were nominated more than once). That number is egregious. When Tananarive Due won in 2023 for The Reformatory, the last woman who won in the category was Caitlin R Kierman (who is problematic and not recommended) in .....2012!!! There have been times when every nominee in the category were men. There has NEVER been a time when every nominee was a woman.\\ \\ Women write incredible horror every year. Let's work together to help people read more women. I'll come up with some prize options and will post them in the Discord! There will be one more card coming this year, likely in December!\\ \\ Our Community Discord also hosts our Women in Horror book club. This month we are reading The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno Garcia and next month we are reading The Possession of Alba Diaz by Isabel Canes (and I've partnered with Berkeley to do a giveaway, so stay tuned!)

The storytelling was fantastic. I loved all the characters."\\ \\ **A Vicious Game** by Melissa Blair\\ \\ Recommended by reader **Rhys**\\ \\ 'This series is one full of twists and turns. The third in the series throws you in for LOOP after LOOP. They keep smacking you in the face until you finish the book and then you're desperate for the fourth."\\ \\ **There There** by Tommy Orange\\ \\ Recommended by reader **ryn**\\ \\ "I loved how you follow 12 people whose lives all intersected and came to a head at the pow wow.

Had the perfect amount of creepiness."\\ \\ **Calling For a Blanket Dance** by Oscar Hokeah\\ \\ Recommended by reader: **BookishBlue**\\ \\ "This novel had a unique structure, learning about Ever from those around him before finally getting his perspective. Despite a lot of tragedy along the way, this one ended with a hopeful future."\\ \\ **Moon of the Turning Leaves** by Waubgeshig Rice\\ \\ Recommended by reader: **Tracy**\\ \\ "This is a detailed, slow burning post-apocalyptic thriller with the eerie realism of human nature."\\ \\ **The Truth According to Ember** by Danica Nava\\ \\ Recommended by reader: **Ilona**\\ \\ "It was so funny and had a lot of heart. It was nice having Oklahoma represented in a way that wasn't tied to how awful it can be instead of showing the joy that can be found here."\\ \\ **Never Whistle At Night** edited by Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst Jr\\ \\ Recommended by reader: **MythicalReadsReviewer**\\ \\ "Even though horror isn't my usual genre, I absolutely loved it. It was hard to believe that there were so many stories that were that good, but I'd be hard pressed to name another anthology that had such range while still holding mostly bangers."\\ \\ **I Was A Teenage Slasher** by Stephen Graham Jones\\ \\ Recommended by reader **MichelleMyBelle**\\ \\ "I loved the way this book played with the genre.

I read in every single genre, but I would be super excited about fantasy, thriller, horror and romance! The popularity of Stephen Graham Jones and the success of Never Whistle at Night is an undeniable force. White Horse by Erika T Wurth, Green Fuse Burning by Tiffany Morris and Bad Cree by Jessica Johns are some of my favorite horror books!\\ \\ Indigenous romance is also on the rise! My book club is reading indie Indigenous romance Lizards Hold The Sun by Dani Trujillo in July and the first traditionally published Indigenous romance, The Truth According to Ember by Danica Nava, will be out from Berkley this August. (Spoiler Alert: It will be the pick for book club in September!)\\ \\ Rebecca Roanhorse! Cherie Dimaline! Darcie Little Badger!

That tension between logic and something deeply wrong mirrors Thomas perfectly.\\ \\ KOCOUM\\ \\ Never Whistle at Night: Back for Blood & Bad Cree by Jessica Johns\\ \\ These both ground horror in ancestry, land, and generational memory. Together, they reflect Kocoum’s connection to community and the idea that the past is never truly separate from the present.\\ \\ JOHN \\ \\ The Hacienda by Isabel Canas & The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell\\ \\ Both books trap their characters in controlled, domestic spaces that slowly turn hostile. That loss of authority in the face of something supernatural lines up with John’s need for certainty.\\ \\ RATCLIFFE \\ \\ Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin & The Violence by Delilah S. Dawson\\ \\ These are both brutal, society-breaking narratives where survival requires adaptation to constant violence. They match Ratcliffe’s world, where chaos isn’t an anomaly, it’s the baseline.\\ \\ FLIT \\ \\ Maeve Fly by CJ Leede & A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers\\ \\ Both lean into indulgence, performance, and female rage with a sharp, self-aware edge. That mix of chaos and control fits Flit’s unpredictable, almost theatrical energy.\\ \\ MEEKO \\ \\ Nothing Tastes As Good by Luke Dumas & Bloom by Delilah S. Dawson\\ \\ These stories start soft and intimate before shifting into obsession and transformation. That progression mirrors Meeko’s curiosity and loyalty evolving into something more complicated.\\ \\ PERCY \\ \\ Diavola by Jennifer Thorne + Rouge by Mona Awad\\ \\ Both focus on vanity, image, and identity unraveling under pressure. They reflect Percy’s arc from surface-level entitlement to a more self-aware, fractured perspective.\\ \\ POCAHONTAS \\ \\ White Horse by Erika T. Wurth + Shutter by Ramona Emerson\\ \\ These both center cultural memory, spiritual responsibility, and connection to land. Together, they align with Pocahontas’s role as someone who carries history rather than escapes it.\\ \\ I'm definitely going to do more of these types of posts. Everyone has their own niche on Instagram and I think since I love watching and reading so much it's a great way to combine the two. Also, the books for each character are readalikes so generally if you like one you'll like the other.\\ \\ Upgrade for $5 or login](https://deathbytbrbooks.binderybooks.com/item/skx65TIqIUzL5yBRLCkx/) [Book Recs for Pocahontas Characters](https://deathbytbrbooks.binderybooks.com/item/skx65TIqIUzL5yBRLCkx/) * * * 16 books 1 [Kurryreads\\ \\ Kerry\\ \\ • Nov 1 2025](https://kurryreads.binderybooks.com/) Join for free [Indigenous Heritage Month - Thriller, Mystery, & Horror Book Recommendations](https://kurryreads.binderybooks.com/item/WycmsbwKYEiEpfiokXP4/) Native American Heritage Month - Thriller, Mystery, and Horror books by Indigenous Authors to diversify your bookshelves 📚📖 #nativeamericanheritagemonth #indigenousbooks #readindigenous #booktok #bookrecommendations * * * 21 books 3 [Boozhoo Books\\ \\ Naomi\\ \\ • Sep 12 2025](https://boozhoo.binderybooks.com/) \\ \\ Join for free or login](https://boozhoo.binderybooks.com/item/vlZE1BZn0SiqMk2zPyOs/) [Indigenous Books To Add To Your Spooky Season TBR](https://boozhoo.binderybooks.com/item/vlZE1BZn0SiqMk2zPyOs/) Indigenous books for your spooky season TBR!

It follows a young Cree woman years after the death of her sister. She begins to have terrifying dreams about their last weekend together, followed by a string of seamingly supernatural occurances that forces her to flee back home to her mother and aunties, who help her uncover the truth of what really happened to her big sister...and what may just happen to her if she isn't careful.\\ - \*\*No One's Gonna Take Her Soul Away by Amanda Weaver: \*\*This book follows a Black woman who is murdered and unjustly sent to the seventh level of hell, where she must partner together with a werewolf and a vampire in order to fight her way through all seven levels of hell in order to confront the goddess that condemned her there.\\ - \*\*The Getaway by Lamar Giles: \*\*This book was...intense. Not haunting in the way that \_Bad CreeI was, \_but incredible and terrifying in it's own way. This is probably more of a dystopian book than a horror book, but it shook me and I made the list, so I can include it if I want to. bahahaha! The book follows a young man who works in one of the nations only remaining resorts in a post-apocalyptic world, where natural disaster and war has ravaged most of the known world. As an employee, he must serve the American elite who can afford to vacation there. But when he uncovers a conspiracy happening among the guests, his life and everything he's ever known will be in jeopardy.\\ \\ **NOTABLE MENTIONS THAT I HAVEN'T READ YET**\\ \\ - \*\*Fledgling by Octavia Butler: \*\*If you know who Octavia Butler is, I'm sure you're as excited as I am to read this! Fledgling is often called the world's best vampire book. On the other hand, it is also often called the most haunting vampire story out there. So...yeah... I definitely wanna read this one!\\ - \*\*Never Whistle at Night: \*\*This is an indigneous horror anthology that I have been told is PHENOMENAL! I cannot wait to read this!
