Reviews
"Story to story, Never Whistle at Night never failed to surprise, delight, and shock me. I'm a big fan of stories that make you feel like you're standing at the edge of a cliff with a stranger's fingers on the tip of your spine--and this anthology has that ungoverned, go-for-broke aesthetic that I love." --Nick Cutter, author of Little Heaven " Never Whistle at Night is all I've ever wanted in an Indigenous horror anthology. From doubles, to Empty People, to story theft, to zombies, this anthology explores the horror that lives in colonial violence, generational love and trauma, and our everyday lives. It's a joy to see such a diverse representation of experience, background, and style in this carefully-curated and terrifying collection." --Jessica Johns, author of Bad Cree "This groundbreaking anthology showcases to the world that Indigenous horror has many faces, and these powerful stories are a horror lover's dream: each one singular and heartfelt, carving new storytelling pathways that feel both unique and universal, haunting and healing. It's impossible to guess what's coming next, and that unpredictability is so central to why horror is such a powerful genre as we all confront life's terrors." --Tananarive Due, author of The Reformatory "I've increasingly come to suspect that the best work in contemporary Horror is being written by Indigenous writers, and Never Whistle at Night makes me certain of this. Consisting of more than two dozen stories by turns fierce and strange--sometimes about storytelling, sometimes political, sometimes just very, very unsettling--this is a deeply satisfying anthology." --Brian Evenson, author of The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell "The combination of folklore and the travails of contemporary life is potent. Hard-edged and dread-inducing, Never Whistle at Night showcases major horror talent." --Laird Barron, author of The Wind Began to Howl "An extensive collection of Indigenous stories ranging from the humorous to the terrifying, this anthology is a must-read for everyone. Your new favorite author is absolutely in this book." --Amina Akhtar, author of Kismet "Melodious, haunting, and visceral, Never Whistle at Night enchants from the very start with fiery confidence and merciless ghosts. These are stories that dig their fingers inside you and carve something truly special. An absolute must-read." --Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth "Can you draw power from the spirit of a story? If the twenty-six tales in the essential Never Whistle at Night anthology are any indication, the answer is an emphatic yes. The title itself provides its own warning, but I'll go one step further: Never read this collection of spine-chilling stories alone at night. You just might not make it to morning." --Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters, "The combination of folklore and the travails of contemporary life is potent.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER . SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST EDITED ANTHOLOGY . BRAM STOKER AWARD NOMINEE FOR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN AN ANTHOLOGY .

Mathilda Zeller Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms- for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai'po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear-and even follow you home. These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples' survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon., NATIONAL BESTSELLER - SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST EDITED ANTHOLOGY - BRAM STOKER AWARD NOMINEE FOR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN AN ANTHOLOGY - LOCUS AWARD FINALIST A bold, clever, and sublimely sinister collection that dares to ask the question: "Are you ready to be un-settled?"
