A young man is haunted by a mythological specter bent on stealing everything he loves in this unsettling horror from the author of Indian Burial Ground and Sisters of the Lost Nation.
For fear of summoning evil spirits, Native superstition says you should never, ever whistle at night.
Henry Hotard was on the verge of fame, gaining a following and traction with his eerie ghost-hunting videos. Then his dreams came to a screeching halt. Now, he's learning to navigate a new life in a wheelchair, back on the reservation where he grew up, relying on his grandparents’ care while he recovers.
And he’s being haunted.
His girlfriend, Jade, insists he just needs time to adjust to his new reality as a quadriplegic, that it’s his traumatized mind playing tricks on him, but Henry knows better. As the specter haunting him creeps closer each night, Henry battles to find a way to endure, to rid himself of the horror stalking him.
Worried that this dread might plague him forever, he realizes the only way to exile his phantom is by confronting his troubled past and going back to the events that led to his injury.
It all started when he whistled at night....

My dream for this community is that we come together to support Indigenous creators, authors, bookstores! \
\
Together we have the power to make a real difference. \
\
Each month, I will tell you about the bookshop I am supporting for the month and create a community shopping day. I try to make these around paydays! Buy a book (or two or five) from the bookstore directly, or get a two-for-one and buy the book through my bookshop link in Bindery and support me and the bookshop!\
\
This month, we are supporting Black Walnut Books, an Indigenous queer woman owned bookstore! Let's give her the best day. \
\
I've added some of my favorite reads for you to order, or if none of them are your taste (or you already own them!) click through and then search for any book you want! I still will get a small commission! \
\
Happy Book Shopping! (And request a bookstore to support in April below!)

[Hello Friends!\
\
Happy First Day of Native American Heritage Month!\
\
I want to thank you all so much for being part of this community and supporting the work that we do to support Indigenous authors!\
\
I wanted to share some updates from the publishing world with you all! The purpose of our community is to uplift, promote and publish Indigenous authors. We have and continue to be very successful in doing those first two things.\
\
I have been open to submissions from North American Indigenous authors for a little over a year and I thought I would have many more submissions than I have received.\
\
That's not to say that I've had ZERO submissions. I have had some submissions that were just not the right fit. As you know, I have to move forward with a project that 1. I feel passionate about 2. I believe I can sell. \
\
We have made a total of 3 offers over the last year and all have declined for higher advances (the sole area that Bindery cannot compete). On the backend, we have met with authors, publishing professionals, community members to help reach Indigenous authors and spread the word about Boozhoo Books, and this incredible opportunity (which we will continue to do). \
\
I s this still an Indigenous imprint? Yes. I am Indigenous. Supporting this imprint supports the work that I do to uplift and promote Indigenous authors and one day, hopefully, publish Indigenous authors. \
\
Last year, I opened my submissions to women writing horror. In order for this imprint to grow and flourish, we need to publish books. It felt natural for me to include women writing horror, another group of voices that deserve space, deserve to be heard. I have read some books that I truly can't get out of my mind and can't wait to share with you. \
\
Our first book, What Feeds Below, by Tatiana Schlote Bonne, comes out October 6, 2026! Our second book, TBA, will come out Spring 2027. We are not sure if Boozhoo will have a book Fall 2027, but there are some things that can be done to improve those chances. Here's how you can help (I cannot do this, without your help and support)\
\
- Upgrade your membership. I need to increase paid membership by about 100 (which is less than 10% of this community). If you won't miss $5 or $12 a month, this is for you. The reason paid subscribers are so important is because a percentage of the subscription fee goes into the production of the book. The rest is put back into the community in some way (shipping fees for giveaways, etc) or affords me an iced coffee. \
\
\
Upgrading to $5 a month for one year is the cost of two hardcover books. (I know.) $5 subscribers get e-arcs of all of the books Boozhoo publishes. \
\
Upgrading to $12 or $25 a month gets your name in the book and PHYSICAL ARCS of all the books Boozhoo publishes.\
\
All paid members get access to a private Discord channel, get early publishing updates (like seeing all the drafts of the cover, the back copy, etc), and get to participate in community decisions\
\
2. Pre-order the book, What Feeds Below, in the first month it goes on sale (preferably from a trackable place like bookshop.org) The pre-orders have to come in early (the first month or two) from a place that is trackable in order for me to be guaranteed a book for Fall 2027. \
\
Our community goal for 2026 is continue to grow, continue to uplift and support Indigenous and other marginalized authors and to continue to spread the word about the opportunity to publish with Boozhoo Books. \
\
Other ways to support this month:\
\
- buy books from Indigenous authors (and use my link below) I get a commission for every book you buy after clicking my link to Bookshop (even if I didn't list it)\
\
- buy some books from my Pango shop. I have about 100 books to sell and once they sell I want to list 100 more. I have got to get rid of these books and clear up space. Kind of a weird request but please order 1 book or 3 and more. I have single packages and bigger sized boxes (that I don't want to use for 2 books) I will include a book bingo card in each order until I run out of them.\
\
- repost my social media posts! Tag me in your book reviews so I can boost them! \
\
\
\
I am so grateful with how so many of you have showed up to support in the past year and I can't wait to see how this community and imprint grows. Getting approved for a second book is just the short term goal. \
\

\
Hi Friends, \
\
We are scheduled to talk to author Nick Medina tonight at 7pm EST. You will find the zoom link at the bottom of this post! Our book club Good Day To Read Indigenous read The Whistler this month (highly recommend the audio!) If you are in the bookclub, simply connect to the Discord! That's where all the fun happens!\
\
We are searching for book 2.\
\
Pitchfest ends today! I have 13-14 really great premises that I'm interested in right now, and I'm discussing them here and over on the Paid Subscriber chat in Discord. \
\
As a reminder! Paid subscribers get all of our publishing news first. Here are some things I've shared recently:\
\
- What Feeds Below: first draft cover, back copy of the book, second draft cover walkthrough\
\
- Pitchfest pitches that I'm interested in and how I go about prioritizing what I read. It's also a great way for me to get feedback on the books YOU would love to see come from this imprint. \
\
\
The book I choose now will be publishing in Spring 2027. As of right now, I am only approved to publish one book per year. There are two things that could happen to increase my chances of getting a Fall 2027 book: \
\
- Increase my paid subscribers by 100 people.\
\
\
Paid subscriptions are split 3 ways:\
\
a. goes into the production of the books we publish under this imprint\
\
b. goes back into the community. Whenever I host a giveaway where I am doing the shipping, It is $5 for media mail. \
\
c. goes to buy me an iced latte (literally lol)\
\
$5 members get e copies of the book\
\
$12 + $25 members get their names in the book on the thank you page! (and get physical copies of the book). \
\
One of our community members shamed me this morning while showing what the Bindery books signature page looks like, while showing off a final copy of Cry Voidbringer. Michael's thank you pages are like 3 pages long! We still have time to get there and for me to not be crying in the closet. (PS, Michael deserves it and go pre order Cry Voidbringer RIGHT NOW. The book comes out next week) \
\
- I believe pre-orders for What Feeds Below will start in January (don't quote me). If I can get 1,000 preorders month one, I think I would have a solid argument for getting a second book. Mind you, no one has done this as of yet. That would mean every single person in this community commits to pre-ordering the book when it first goes on sale. \
\
\
Why does this matter?\
\
Our mission has always been to amplify voices fighting to be heard. I opened up my imprint to include Women in Horror because I was not getting many Indigenous submissions. I have continued to work behind the scenes building community and getting the news of my imprint out to authors and will continue to do so.\
\
In order to meet that goal, my imprint has to exist and be profitable. Since the beginning of my platform, I have always been a vocal supporter of women writing horror. And recently learning that out of 191 authors nominated for a Bram Stoker award, only 26 women have been nominated, I've been incredibly motivated to help open doors where I can. \
\
I would love to be able to publish 1 Indigenous book and 1 horror book per year. (and as we grow, eventually 4-6 books per year with a 50/50 split whenever possible). \
\
I have received TOO MANY good manuscripts to only publish one book. Can you help support this imprint?\

They also agreed to a Bone Thief giveaway, so I'm just going to pause on that one. I'm really sorry! I don't know what else to do. I'm disappointed and annoyed. \

Indigenous Books To Buy Today
If you think that criticizing that fraud is enough, I promise it’s not. If you read the news and had something to say about it, I encourage you to do two things:
1. Buy a couple of books off of this list and support Indigenous voices
2. Subscribe to my Bindery and support Indigenous publishing. And get recommendations like this. #indigenousbooks #indigenous #bookrecommendations

Like most Virgos, I celebrate my birthday all season, so you'll have to excuse my mention of it eleventy billion times, but MY BIRTHDAY IS NEXT WEDNESDAY!\
\
In case you missed it, I am giving away a special edition box set of The Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin. You can enter here and you have until the end of the month to enter. (US only)\
\
Our Women in Horror book club is reading The Possession of Alba Diaz by Isabel Cañas in September and I am giving away 5 copies. The winner will be selected Tuesday at 430pm PST. You can enter here. (US and Canada). \
\
Our Good Day to Read Indigenous book club is reading Legendary Frybread Drive-in: Intertribal Stories in September. \
\
Both bookclubs are held in Discord. If you aren't connected yet, you can connect through this page. \
\
The community Discord i s a great place to connect with other readers who enjoy reading diversely (even if you don't have time to participate in the bookclubs! There is literally a channel for everything (including HOT BOOK GOSSIP lol). If you are a paid member, you have access to a private paid member channel where we talk about all things publishing and you get to participate in some of the publishing decisions. Truly cool! \
\
Speaking of paid members, people keep asking how best to support Boozhoo Books. Well, it's my birthday month, what a perfect time for you to upgrade! Why upgrade? A portion of your monthly fee goes into the production of the books. Yes, this means that the more paid subscribers I have, the more books we will be able to publish. We are currently approved to publish one book per year. My goal is to be able to publish four books per year. (2 women in horror, 2 books by Indigenous authors would be the ideal breakdown, but is very much dependent on the manuscripts submitted both directly and by agents). I also use a good portion of subscriber money to ship giveaways that are not held in conjunction with publishers. (the NK Jemisin in shipping directly from me, for example).\
\
$5 subscribers will get ebook copies of all of our published books. \
\
$12 and $25 will get physical copies and their names on the contributor page. (How freaking cool is that!) \
\
If you can commit to subscribing for the entire year for $5 a month, it would be at the price of buying two hard cover books! \
\

Ann Coulter strikes again. "We Didn't Kill Enough Indians"\
\
I'm never surprised by what comes out of that troll's mouth and I'm also never surprised by her racist followers chiming in with support. \
\
This genocidal rhetoric, though not new, is dangerous and it is important for us to denounce hate speech. \
\
It is also important to remember that Indigenous people are STILL HERE and we are still telling our stories.\
\
Support Indigenous artists, authors, creatives. \
\
I've included 10 upcoming books (or very recently released) written by Indigenous authors in this post. Check them out! Don't just add them to your TBR and never get to them, consider ordering them today!\
\
As I've mentioned previously, Pre-Orders are so important, especially for marginalized folks. High pre-order numbers can make the difference in whether or not a store like Barnes and Noble is going to stock the book (and more than one copy!)
