This chilling historical novel is set in the nascent days of the state of Montana, following a Blackfeet Indian named Good Stab as he haunts the fields of the Blackfeet Nation looking for justice.
It begins when a diary written in 1912 by a Lutheran pastor is discovered within a wall in 2012. What is unveiled is a slow massacre, a nearly forgotten chain of events that goes back to 217 Blackfeet dead in the snow, told in the transcribed interviews with Good Stab, who shares the narrative of his peculiar and unnaturally long life over a series of confessional visits.
This is an American Indian revenge story, captured in the vivid voices of the time, by one of the new masters of literary horror, Stephen Graham Jones.

“What a page-turner! I love a unique writing style, deep historical, cultural, and mythological knowledge. The horror was bloody and intense. I love how fleshed out the characters were, how each one had their own distinct voice. The main character (Good Stab) was morally ambiguous but so well-developed that I wanted to cry with him. The real horror is what USA has done to its lands and the people it rightfully belongs to.”
