Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology - Paperback

by Shane Hawk (Editor), Theodore C. Van Alst (Editor)

Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology – Paperback is a bold collection of 26 original stories by Indigenous writers from the United States and Canada. Edited by Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst Jr., the anthology brings together horror, dark fantasy, science fiction, supernatural suspense, and gritty crime.

Across the collection, readers encounter ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, family legacies, revenge, colonial violence, generational trauma, and unsettling supernatural forces. The stories offer a wide range of voices, styles, settings, and Indigenous experiences while exploring both imagined horrors and the darkness found in everyday life.

The anthology includes work from emerging and established Indigenous authors, with an introduction by bestselling horror writer Stephen Graham Jones. Rather than following one continuous plot, each story presents a distinct perspective, making the paperback suitable for readers who enjoy varied, atmospheric, and thought-provoking short fiction.
