2020 is all about getting outside of my usual genres • The Only Good Indians definitely took me there • Billed as the "Jordan Peele" of horror authors, Graham unravels a disturbing tale of vengeance • His book will have you questioning what is to be feared most • The desparate for blood revenge monster or the horrors his characters are creating for themselves

An #ownvoices author, Jones drops the reader into the lives of four friends struggling to break free from the stereotypes of their Native heritage • However these men have not always respected the beliefs and traditions of their Blackfoot culture • An elk hunt gone horribly wrong ten years ago is now having repercussions beyond any nightmare they could have imagined

Jones puts a new spin on the slasher story • Adding in psychological tailspins for his main male characters while his female characters take on stronger personas is an unexpected turn in a genre I'd typically assume to be male driven • Throw in reflections on how racial relations and cultural identity still create unfair stigmas among the Native communities, this novel will have you thinking on overdrive while trying not to shut your eyes to stop reading during the gory scenes
